OCM collect and store your redundant IT Assets

Why storage matters

When businesses upgrade their IT infrastructure, they are often left with redundant hardware that still holds value. However, storing this equipment on-site can be both cumbersome and inefficient. That’s where OCM steps in. We not only collect these IT assets but also provide a secure, off-site storage solution tailored to your business needs.

Many organisations are unaware of the potential benefits of storing their redundant hardware. Whether it’s to maintain access to legacy systems, or because the assets have a potential resale value as refurbished laptops and desktops, storage plays an essential role in effective IT asset management. By opting for secure storage, businesses can keep their IT equipment in a safe and organised manner, avoiding potential data breaches or damage to the hardware.

Benefits of storing redundant IT hardware

1. Asset value retention: Storing hardware ensures that valuable assets like refurbished desktops and laptops remain in good condition for future use or resale. Properly managed storage allows businesses to refurbish and redeploy equipment, reducing costs associated with buying new devices.
2. IT Lifecycle Management: Redundant hardware often plays a crucial role in the IT lifecycle. By storing these items, businesses maintain flexibility in managing their IT estate. They can extend the use of certain devices, upgrade systems gradually, or store equipment for later phases of their ITAD (IT Asset Disposition or Disposal) process.
3. Sustainability and reduced waste: By storing and eventually refurbishing old equipment, companies contribute to sustainable practices, reducing e-waste and extending the lifecycle of technology. OCM’s storage services are part of a holistic IT Lifecycle Management approach that promotes environmental responsibility.
4. Security: Data security is a top concern for businesses managing redundant IT hardware. At OCM, we provide a secure storage environment where your data-rich hardware remains protected. Our team ensures that assets are stored in a way that mitigates the risk of data breaches or unauthorised access.
