IT Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM)

Stages of IT Asset Lifecycle Management

Here’s how Iron Mountain Singapore approach to Asset Lifecycle Management elevates your IT practices to help you maximise efficiency, reduce risk of non-compliance, increase competitive advantage, and exceed your environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.

• Asset procurement: Iron Mountain will work with you to identify requirements and procure the most suitable assets to meet your business needs.
• Asset deployment: A single deployment can involve a handful of assets to thousands of different types of equipment. It can take a surprising amount of time before the equipment is fully functional and operational. Leave the set up, installation and configuration in the hands of our experts to maximise the value each asset brings to your company.
• IT asset tracking and inventory management: Each asset should be accounted for and tracked from the moment they arrive to maintain an accurate inventory of your IT assets and their respective configurations. This allows us to easily track and monitor the performance of every IT asset to ensure optimal performance and compliance with security and regulatory requirements.
• Asset redeployment: Iron Mountain can help to identify underutilised assets and come up with a strategic plan to reallocate, redeploy, or decommission IT assets and hardware to maximise value and return on investment.
• Hardware decommissioning: For IT assets that have reached the end of their lifecycle, companies have to securely decommission all data-bearing IT assets. This may encompass data sanitisation, hardware degaussing and destruction, and more, depending on the type of IT asset involved. Iron Mountain experts can help to decommission hardware effectively and efficiently to minimise downtime.
• Data destruction and sanitisation: IT assets often contain sensitive information that can significantly harm a company if accessed by unauthorised parties. Using cutting-edge technology and industry best practices, Iron Mountain thoroughly wipes and destroys all data in your hardware to ensure it does not fall into the wrong hands.
• IT asset remarketing: Leverage the experience and industry knowledge of Iron Mountain experts to determine which equipment has potential for reuse and resale, and which assets are not worth the effort to remarket. Tap into our extensive network of buyers through multiple direct sales channels to recover the maximum value from your retired IT assets.
• Electronic waste disposal: When disposing of IT assets, Iron Mountain ensures your company complies with the latest security and sustainability regulations. Materials that cannot be repurposed or resold will be recycled in a secure and environmentally-friendly manner, contributing to the team’s sustainability efforts.

From asset deployment to disposition, you will be able to track your IT assets throughout the asset lifecycle. Certificates to verify asset and data destruction will be issued at the end of the destruction process to prove that your materials have been thoroughly broken down.
