ITAD e valorizzazione degli asset IT aziendali
Corporate IT equipment decommissioning provides a structured process for removing PCs, notebooks, servers and other equipment that is no longer required from the company’s IT estate. MGK Tech can manage inventory, asset intake, collection, technical assessment, secure data erasure and residual-value evaluation, determining the most appropriate route according to the condition of each asset.
Equipment that remains suitable can be reused, refurbished or remarketed, while non-recoverable assets can be managed through authorised partners with full process traceability.
When a company renews its IT fleet, desktop PCs, notebooks, servers, monitors and other devices no longer used must be registered and evaluated before being removed from operational activities. The service allows you to identify assets still suitable for recovery, organizing their taking charge and defining the activities necessary for an orderly and traceable disposal.
MGK Tech supports the disposal of company computers and reusable IT assets through the technical verification of the devices, the management of the data present on the storage media and the evaluation of their residual value. The service is aimed at dealerships, leasing and rental companies, IT and ICT companies, system integrators, banks, insurance companies and companies that need to manage the release of hardware that is still recoverable from their inventory.
Based in Parma, MGK Tech can organize the collection of batches from multiple operating locations, defining the methods of collection, quantity of devices and required documentation. The service can include asset inventory, registration of serial numbers and reporting of equipment actually collected.
MGK Tech plans the collection of devices at the customer's premises, even on large batches or multiple operating locations, reducing downtime and internal steps for the company.
Each asset is recorded with type, serial number, hardware status and presence of data carriers, so the company maintains documentary control over the decommissioned IT fleet.
Hard disks, SSDs and storage media are managed with certifiable deletion or physical destruction, based on the status of the media and the required security requirements.
Devices that are still functional are analyzed to understand whether they can generate value through refurbishment, remarketing or repurchase, rather than ending up directly in disposal.
The process starts with the customer’s request and, where available, a list of the devices to be managed together with the main information on their configuration and condition. MGK Tech can organise inventory, handling, pallet preparation, collection and transport activities, including projects involving multiple company locations.
Assets taken into custody are subsequently identified and assessed in order to maintain a documented link between the collected equipment, the customer’s records and the technical activities subsequently performed.
Before the intervention, MGK Tech carries out the mapping of the assets to be disposed of. For each device, the type, serial number, physical and functional state and the presence of residual data on hard disk, SSD or other internal media are detected. The inventory allows the client company to have an updated list of registered assets, which can be used for internal reporting and as a support for its administrative procedures.
In contexts where the company already has an internal inventory with serial numbers and serial numbers, MGK Tech integrates the existing data into its traceability system, reducing operating times and maintaining consistency between the product report and the customer documentation.
Collection can be organized at the customer’s premises, with methods defined based on the quantity of devices, the conditions of the lot and logistical needs. For high volumes or companies with multiple operating locations, the intervention can be divided into several sessions, agreeing times and methods for taking charge of the assets suitable for recovery.
To request service planning or verify its feasibility, you can contact MGK Tech indicating the type, estimated quantity and location of the devices.
The presence of company data on hard disks, SSDs and other storage media makes the management of decommissioned IT devices an issue that directly concerns information security and compliance with EU Regulation 2016/679 on the protection of personal data. A company PC sold, reused or removed from the IT fleet without secure data deletion can expose the organization to legal, operational and reputational risks, especially when personal data, credentials, internal documents or confidential information are present on the media.
For working storage media, MGK Tech applies secure erasure procedures based on the type of media, the state of the device and the level of documentation required. For HDD, SSD and compatible media, the process may involve data wiping using dedicated software, secure erase or sanitize commands or cryptographic deletion, when supported by the device. The procedures are defined by referring to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, technical standard for the sanitization of digital media.
Upon request, data deletion can also be performed onsite, directly at the customer’s premises. This mode allows you to process PCs, notebooks, servers, hard disks and other storage media without transferring them externally, maintaining traceability of the operations carried out.
At the end of the processing, a cancellation certificate may be issued containing the identification data of the medium, the serial number, the method applied and the outcome of the procedure. The documentation can be used for internal reporting, for audit activities and for checks required by IT, privacy or compliance functions.
Certifiable deletion allows devices that are still functioning to be allocated for reuse, refurbishment, remarketing or repurchase, reducing the risk of information exposure and preserving the residual value of the hardware.
When media is damaged, undetectable, or cannot be reliably erased by software, non-reversible procedures appropriate to the device technology may be employed. Degaussing can be used for magnetic HDDs, while physical destruction can be used for SSDs, unreadable drives or unrecoverable media.
In these cases the support is rendered unusable, with registration of the intervention and, when required, photographic documentation and certification of destruction linked to the serial numbers treated. This procedure is suitable for damaged media, which cannot be verified via software or for organizations that require a higher level of guarantee in the permanent deletion of data.
Not all IT devices that leave the enterprise are worthless. Notebooks, desktop PCs, servers and monitors that retain adequate technical and functional characteristics can be reconditioned and put back on the market through hardware remarketing channels, allowing the selling company to recover part of the residual value. MGK Tech evaluates the state of the hardware and identifies devices suitable for reuse, reconditioning or subsequent relocation on the market.
The economic assessment of each asset takes into account its overall configuration, technical specifications, performance, functional condition and cosmetic condition. The assessment identifies equipment that retains potential residual value and supports the selection of the most appropriate route for buyback, refurbishment or remarketing according to the condition and composition of the lot.
The individual asset assessment contributes to determining the overall value of the lot and distinguishes equipment that can still be recovered from assets that are no longer suitable for value recovery.
The IT asset management service concerns the main categories of corporate IT equipment that have characteristics compatible with reuse, reconditioning or economic valorisation. The evaluation may involve homogeneous or mixed batches, from small quantities to IT parks made up of multiple types of devices.
Notebooks, desktop PCs, workstations, rack and tower servers, storage devices, monitors, network equipment, hard disks, SSDs and other storage media can be tested. For different equipment or for lots that include categories not listed, it is possible to request a preliminary evaluation indicating quantities, characteristics and conditions of the devices.
Assets that, following technical assessment, are no longer suitable for reuse, refurbishment or remarketing are assigned the most appropriate final-disposition route. Where WEEE treatment is required, MGK Tech works with authorised partners while maintaining traceability of the assets and their final destination.
This allows the process to remain documented even for equipment that can no longer be recovered or placed on the secondary market. Project documentation can include the report for inventoried assets and information relating to any secure data erasure operations carried out on the relevant storage media.
To start the evaluation of IT assets, simply provide a general indication of the fleet of devices to be managed, specifying the type, estimated quantity and location. It is not necessary to have an already complete inventory: the census can also be organized at a later stage, based on the characteristics of the lot.
After the first contact, MGK Tech can propose a remote inspection or evaluation to check the conditions of the devices, identify those suitable for reuse and estimate their residual value. On the basis of the information collected, the collection methods, any data deletion activities and the documentation relating to the assets taken care of are defined.
The information provided allows us to verify the feasibility of the service and to define the most suitable path between secure data deletion, repurchase, reconditioning and remarketing of recoverable hardware.
