OCM’s comprehensive IT Asset Management include collection, logistics and housing redundant hardware

15/10/2024


The complexities of handling redundant decommissioned hardware can pose significant challenges for businesses – which is where OCM come in! We provide an holistic approach to IT Lifecycle Management, ensuring that our clients not only manage their assets effectively but also find reliable solutions for end-of-life hardware. Our services include collection, the management of all logistics as well as housing unused hardware.

Integrated IT Asset Management

IT Asset Management is more than just tracking and maintaining hardware; it encompasses the entire lifecycle of IT assets, from acquisition to eventual decommissioning. Functional components are salvaged and refurbished – donated or resold - and those assets that cannot be repurposed are responsibly recycled to recover valuable raw materials. OCM understands that each stage of this lifecycle is vital to maintaining efficiency, reducing costs and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Our approach starts with the planning process, ensuring that each asset is accounted for and managed throughout its operational life. As these assets reach the end of their lifecycle, we provide specialised services to manage their transition. This includes secure collection, detailed inventory tracking and finally, the housing of the hardware until it is either repurposed or disposed of according to environmental regulations.

End-to-End IT Lifecycle Management

The process of IT Lifecycle Management doesn’t end with the collection of redundant hardware. Often, businesses face logistical and compliance challenges in storing outdated or decommissioned IT equipment. At OCM we offer a comprehensive solution by providing secure housing for these assets.

Our facilities are equipped to handle a wide range of IT equipment, ensuring that all hardware is stored in an environment that preserves its condition and safeguards against unauthorised access. This not only frees up valuable space within your organisation but also allows for more strategic decision-making regarding the future of these assets.

“Managing the lifecycle of IT assets is a complex task that requires both expertise and the right infrastructure. At OCM, we ensure that our clients’ redundant hardware is not only collected efficiently but also housed securely, giving them peace of mind and the flexibility to focus on their core operations,” says Steve Turberfield, Operations Manager at OCM Business Systems Ltd.

Streamlined logistics for efficient operations

Logistics play a critical role in the successful management of IT assets, particularly when it comes to the collection and storage of decommissioned hardware. OCM has developed a robust logistics network designed to handle the complexities associated with moving and housing IT equipment.

Our team coordinates every step of the process, from scheduling pick-ups to ensuring that the equipment is securely transported to our storage facilities. This seamless operation is crucial for businesses looking to minimise downtime and maintain productivity during transitions.

At OCM we pride ourselves on offering comprehensive IT Asset Management and Lifecycle solutions that are more than simply a traditional collection services. By providing secure housing for redundant hardware, we help our clients manage their IT assets more effectively, reduce operational disruptions and stay compliant with environmental and industry standards.

For businesses managing the challenges of IT asset management, OCM is a trusted partner, offering tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of each client.
