Attending a recent
Gartner conference, this presentation was given to help us better
understand, What are the costs and risks associated with disposing of
obsolete IT assets? What are the asset management responsibilities and
ramifications regarding the end of life of IT assets? and What surplus asset
strategies should companies adopt to optimize value and minimize risk for
their organizations? You will see in this presentation that most companies
do not have policies and those that do, are not sure who manages these
policies. This can become a real burden later as obsolete IT Assets will end
up in areas of negativity that will bring bad press and also may allow the
release of private company or personal information if not processes
properly.
