What is IT asset disposition (ITAD)?
IT asset disposition is the secure and responsible process of retiring end-of-life IT equipment. It encompasses data destruction, asset value recovery, and environmentally responsible recycling, all while maintaining compliance with data security regulations.
Maximum value recovery
Our ITAD services help organizations recover maximum value from retired assets. Working devices are remarketed, while non-functional equipment is processed for parts recovery, turning obsolete technology into recovered capital.
Environmental responsibility
Assets that can't be reused are recycled responsibly according to environmental regulations. We ensure e-waste never ends up in landfills, helping your organization meet sustainability goals.
The risks of improper asset disposition
Why professional ITAD services are essential.
Improper IT asset disposition exposes organizations to significant data security risks, compliance violations, and lost value recovery opportunities. Here's why partnering with a professional ITAD provider matters.
Data breach prevention
Retired devices often contain sensitive corporate data, customer information, and proprietary business intelligence. Without proper data destruction, this information remains accessible, creating serious security vulnerabilities and potential breach scenarios.
Regulatory compliance
Organizations must comply with data protection regulations including GDPR, HIPAA, and industry-specific requirements. Professional ITAD services provide documentation and processes that demonstrate compliance with these mandates.
Maximizing asset value
DIY disposition often results in minimal value recovery. Professional ITAD providers have established remarketing channels and expertise in assessing device value—typically recovering multiples more than standard trade-in programs.
Audit trail and reporting
Complete chain-of-custody documentation, asset tracking, and detailed reports provide the audit trail needed for internal controls and external compliance requirements.
How Sphere handles ITAD
Our end-to-end IT asset disposition process.
From initial consultation to final reporting, we manage every aspect of IT asset disposition with security, transparency, and value recovery as our priorities.
1. Asset inventory and logistics
We coordinate device collection with prepaid shipping labels or on-site pickup for larger projects. Every asset is logged with serial numbers from the moment it enters our custody.
2. Certified data destruction
All devices undergo secure data wiping using industry-standard protocols. Storage devices that cannot be wiped are physically destroyed. You receive certificates of data destruction for compliance documentation.
3. Device testing and grading
After data destruction, functional devices are tested and graded based on condition. This assessment determines whether assets will be remarketed whole, processed for parts, or recycled.
4. Value recovery and remarketing
Working devices enter secondary markets where they can be reused. This maximizes value recovery for your organization while extending the useful life of technology and reducing environmental impact.
5. Responsible recycling
Non-functional assets are recycled according to environmental regulations. We work with R2-certified recycling partners to ensure proper handling of e-waste and recovery of valuable materials.
6. Detailed reporting and payout
You receive comprehensive reports detailing every asset processed, its final disposition, and the value recovered. Payment is issued promptly with a detailed breakdown on how values were calculated.
