Introduction
Tech Equipment Sales, Inc. reduces the cost and liabilities
of technology ownership through managed end-of-life programs for
redeployment, remarketing, donation and disposal.
Company Background
We have been in the excess equipment retrieval and disposal
field since 1972 and have found that there is an ever growing
need for our services. Excess equipment presents a real
challenge today. As companies race to keep their technological
edge competitive, energy is focused on the front end of any
product life cycle. By its very nature, aquisition is more
interesting than disposition. But this influx of technology
creates a corresponding and often overlooked increase in
decommissioned assets. Over time technogly assets, such as lab,
industrial, and test equipment tend to pile up
and
consume valuable space.
For the most part, underused, decommissioned equipment
remains out of sight and out of mind. But these rapidly
depreciating, aged assets can pack a major financial punch.
Research concludes that any organization annually removing as
few as 3,000 computers can save as much $1
million per year
in unnecessary storage and disposal costs by implementing an
effective asset disposition program. Perhaps even more
importantly, such programs carry the added benefit of reducing
business risk. A multitude of important decisions need to be
made.
Is on-site or off-site storage more efficient? How
much space will be required? What about transportation?
Inventory control? Which pieces should we hold onto? Which
should we sell or have recycled? Where can we find prospective
buyers? How do we establish market value? It can be confusing,
fustrating, and enormously
time-consuming.
