IT Asset Disposition and Data Center Decommissioning: Trends, Strategies, and Best Practices

The future #ITAD factory is already here.  There is no doubt that in a very short period of time we will see facilities that are entirely managed by a new generation of robots whose brain will be powered by Artificial Intelligence. And this is not the domain of science fiction or even an event that will happen in three years.  It is happening now.  Consider what NVIDIA is offering right now.  Two technologies that are going to revolutionize the way industrial facilities will run are already being tested and deployed by a dozen companies.  NVIDIA has two sets of technologies that are working together to reinvent the factory. They are called Digital Twin and Omniverse 3D. Find out more how this will impact factories and plants.

The Future Factory of IT Equipment Recycling and ITAD is Already Here

Many big US companies are making a 180 degree turn and moving away from their ESG commitments. They are essentially retreating from their Environmental, Social and Governance goals as a result of political pressure and due to economic and cultural shifts taking place in the US. But one state appears to be bucking the trend. California emerges as the outlier, maintaining its focus on its ESG targets. While the US is retreating, European and Asian nations have taken a divergent path, keeping their ESG pledges alive. Today, we’ll explore the forces driving these divergent paths, dive into the perspectives of corporations and investors, and examine what the future might hold for ESG as a cornerstone of corporate strategy.

The Diverging ESG Landscape: While US Pauses ESG, EU/Asia Keep Momentum Going: What Should Corporations Do?

In this Sustainable IT Insights podcast, David Daoud of Compliance Standards LLC hosts a conversation with Todd Zegers of Circular Integrity to learn about the complexity of managing global ITAD operations. The discussion is meant to address the key questions facing large companies and organizations when retiring and disposing of their IT hardware base, coping with operational issues, dealing with diverse compliance and legal requirements, operating is several geographies, facing cultural challenges and much more.  Given the complexity of ITAD, the task of managing it should not be the sole responsibility of IT, as is the case today for most companies. For such a program to be successful, various stakeholders must be involved to create a trouble-free ITAD program that safeguards the company and the interests of its stakeholders. Todd provides valuable insights on how to achieve that.

IT Equipment Recycling and Disposition: The Complexity Facing Corporations in Managing Global ITAD Operations

This week, I presented an assessment of the PC sector to a major earth-moving equipment manufacturer preparing for a massive IT refresh in 2025. The focus? AI-driven productivity, the state of top PC vendors like Dell, HP, and Lenovo, and the challenges facing the industry, including geopolitical risks and the looming end-of-life for Windows 10.

In this video, I provide a concise overview of:

- Market performance: How the top PC vendors fared in Q3 2024.
- Strategic shifts: AI integration and the impact on enterprise IT.
- The impending refresh cycle: Aging PCs and the transition to Windows 11.
- Sustainability: Why ESG goals must align with IT procurement strategies.

I’ll also highlight practical recommendations for IT departments navigating these shifts, including pilot projects to evaluate AI-driven devices and best practices for IT asset disposition (ITAD).

As we enter 2025, is the PC market on the cusp of a transformative AI-driven growth cycle? Watch to find out!
