You think that there’s a process that could bridge the gap between an IT asset disposition vendor and the customer to help improve the chain of custody process?
Frank Milia, Chief Operating Officer
Yeah, well, I think good asset management starts at the cradle. You are deploying asset tags and keeping a good record. Even if that record is in a spreadsheet, which a lot of companies are still doing, are you updating that record throughout the life cycle? Then when it comes time for disposal, are you scanning those assets out as they leave the door and then doing a reconciliation with your ITAD vendor? Then when that ITAD vendor provides back their reports and there’s some discrepancy, are you taking real action towards addressing that discrepancy? Because in reality, we’d like to be perfect, but that’s just not what happens. Even out of your control, if you have an asset where it was an asset tag, let’s say, or the asset tag fell off, serial number has been scratched off the machine and the machine doesn’t power on. We can’t even go into the bios and find the serial number. We have a machine that’s disposed of with no information. Now, we’re doing millions of assets, so it’s very likely that that does occur. How does an asset management team address that? Now, ideally, it would have been addressed before it left the door. They would have some understanding of what level of approach do we want to take in that scenario.
