Retrieving PCs from departing employees can be a challenge for IT departments. Without an offboarding process in place, companies put themselves at risk of errors and data security compromises. Streamlining the equipment retrieval process with an automated offboarding system can ensure an efficient, secure transition—from making offboarding requests and sending a box for computer retrieval to wiping the hard drive and tracking retrieval progress.

Your objectives

Your focus for offboarding is efficiency, data security, and ROI, and you know automation can help accelerate the process and reduce human error. To ensure data security, you need a remote wiping tool to clear assets of data before they are shipped back to you. You also need accurate tracking information to guarantee a secure chain of custody, including pre-labeled “Mail a PC” boxes with return shipping information. And to lock in your ROI, you want to maximize the value and usage of the IT asset by ensuring that it can be deployed to another employee in the future.

Iron Mountain's employee offboarding service automates the process for retrieving computer equipment from departing employees, whether remote or in-office. This solution ensures data security by securely wiping the computers and increases business productivity by eliminating costly time delays and allowing the business to continue to operate efficiently. This also allows for a quick and easy transition, reducing the burden of manual labor and allowing for a more cost-effective process. As a result, businesses can quickly move on to the next task, such as redeploying PCs to another employee.
