Business Challenge

With the ongoing focus on cost reduction, organisations need to ensure maximum return on investment from new technology purchases with minimum effort.
This requires access to dynamic pricing information as well as scalable resources that can be deployed across multiple sites to meet business requests.
At the same time as maximising the IT budget,
organisations need to comply with regulations governing the disposal and recycling of unwanted devices and associated data.
Meeting environmental and data protection legislation does not have to be an expensive process. With the right skills and partner, organisations can establish cost-neutral schemes for recycling and redeploying legacy IT hardware that help them meet their sustainability targets.

Computacenter solution

Computacenter enables organisations to take advantage of best practice standards, industrialised processes and shared resources at key stages of the IT asset lifecycle, including:

Benchmarking: Provides organisations with transparent, objective and comprehensive price comparison information, both on-demand for specific purchases and on a rolling basis.

IMAC: Drawing on ITIL best practice, we streamline the execution of moves, changes and additions, enabling organisations to respond faster to business demand and free up internal resources for strategic activities.

Recovery, Recycle & Disposal: Enables organisations to maximise the lifespan and value of redundant IT assets either through redeployment or recycling in accordance with environmental legislation.
