Asset recovery solutions

Making it easy to sell or recycle unwanted computers.

Service detail

From the largest worldwide enterprise to the smallest home office business, the problem is essentially the same: You need to upgrade your IT platform to be competitive, but you've got equipment on hand that has to be disposed of. You want the assurance that the data stored on that hard drive is protected and the equipment disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. And, if the system has marketable value, you receive a competitive buyback value for those unwanted assets!

That's where IBM Asset Recovery Solutions comes in. With an established, worldwide remarketing network for reselling IT equipment with residual value, and an efficient disposal infrastructure, IBM offers you a simple and economical solution to the problem of unwanted IT equipment.
