Managing IT assets across their entire lifecycle can be a daunting and seemingly resource-intensive task, for even the most experienced organisations. Without a comprehensive HAM strategy and program in place, it can be difficult to effectively manage and track assets—especially those located remotely.
A unified HAM process is essential for organisations to ensure that their IT assets are properly managed and tracked throughout their entire lifecycle. In doing so, organisations can maximise asset utilisation, reduce costs associated with underutilised resources, and engage in risk management strategies related to security and compliance.
Iron Mountain's HAM services offer a comprehensive range of asset management capabilities throughout the entire IT lifecycle, including:
At every stage of the IT asset disposition (ITAD) journey, we provide meaningful, end-to-end data protection.
Starting with world-class logistics and global tracking services, we send our fleet of over 3,000 purpose-built trucks with advanced security features—operated by our carefully vetted and trained personnel, right to your doors. We then process your assets, ensuring a transparent, audit-ready, and traceable chain of custody with complete and comprehensive data destruction.
With more frequent individual device and data centre infrastructure refresh cycles, maximising agility, efficiency, and return on investment (ROI) is key for your competitive edge.
Through our data centre remarketing services, customers report higher value recovery versus competitors, which helps fund tech refreshes and alleviate stretched budgets.
From onsite data sanitisation, deinstallation, and device pickup to sustainable ITAD, having one partner streamlines operations while reducing costs and managing security risks.
Continuous technological innovation has produced an explosion of e-waste, which has resulted in increased regulation focused on improving global sustainability.
We work with our customers to reduce their carbon emissions and e-waste. By extending the life of IT assets and enabling faster and less disruptive refresh cycles, we make it easier for companies to quickly deploy newer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly technology.
At the same time, our remarketing and recycling programs minimise the amount of material entering waste streams. And, our comprehensive, audit-ready reporting helps you manage asset performance against your ESG targets.
Your success is our success. With every interaction, we take the complexity and worry out of managing the ITAD process for enterprises at every scale.
We pride ourselves on offering a unique combination of global reach with a local focus. This meets our customers wherever they do business, now offering ITAD services in more than 30 countries.
As one of the largest and most established players in ITAD services, we’re equipped to support your unique requirements.
