With the rapid changes in technology enabling today’s business to operate more efficiently, a new subset of problems has arisen. These problems are associated with technology asset disposition. As companies race to keep pace, more and more equipment is removed from operating environments. Because this is a relatively new problem for corporate America, CBUSA has become the industry “Leader in Corporate Asset Disposition” through its innovative solutions that help many companies realize maximum ROI for their decommissioned technology assets.

Research indicates decommissioned technology assets depreciate between 6% and 10% each month. Companies that rely heavily on technology assets are constantly in search of avenues by which they can properly dispose of these assets. Many organizations have warehouses full of assets that represent considerable potential value which they are unaware of or do not understand. This is where CBUSA can help.

Services and Benefits:

  • Benefit: CBUSA provides tailored solutions for each of its vendors according to their specific needs and expectations pertaining to asset disposition. Through these tailored solutions, CBUSA provides its vendors an opportunity to receive financial returns for their decommissioned assets, realizing maximum ROI.
  • Methodology: Our methodology is simple and straightforward—provide maximum return on investment to our vendors through a direct purchasing program. Our core business is resale of used computer systems through asset disposition; as such we seek out business relationships with vendors to purchase decommissioned IT hardware assets. This program alleviates insurmountable costs associated to asset disposal via EPA regulated recycling resources or consignment relationships. Consignment relationship can prove to be costly with auditing/scrap fees, internal tracking, accounting and reconciliation of data of product consigned. In most cases, financial returns are eaten by those associated cost relating to consignment disposition.
  • Our Process: Assessment of product is essential in determining maximum value of your decommissioned IT hardware assets. Through our due diligence, we will ascertain product type, configuration, condition, quantity and location for the purpose of assigning value. This assessment will be provided to you, the vendor, in the form of a formal offer to purchase the product, with focus on maximizing your ROI. Upon acceptance of our offer, CBUSA will provide logistic measures to recover purchased assets and transport them to our expandable 50,000 sq. ft. facility located in Kansas City, MO. This process provides you, the vendor, with immediate realized financial returns for decommissioned assets, freeing up your storage facilities for other uses as well as eliminating ongoing storage cost and accounting.
  • Additional Services Offered: We offer Data Wiping services. In most cases, our vendors bear this responsibility due to the sensitive nature of their data. For those vendors who elect to use our Data Wiping services, their data is wiped utilizing White Canyon WipeDrive PRO in accordance with DoD Specification. In some cases, our vendors specify that we use their approved software for data erasure. In all cases, we provide auditing and reporting of purchased assets.

Technology disposition can add up 5% of total cost of ownership. These expenses stem from the fact that used equipment from a distributed environment presents many challenges to efficient processing which internal IT and traditional resellers or service providers are not equipped to address.

The components include de-installation, consolidation and logistics, audit and inventory, data erasure, refurbishment, residual value recovery, EPA compliant recycling, redeployment, lease return, charitable donation, and employee sale. Take a hard look at the equipment that might be lying dormant in a storage room or warehouse.

Revenues from the sale of those assets could fund the next project or new member of your IT organization. Consider searching for a service driven firm that will engage in an ongoing relationship to help manage non-performing assets, while members of your organization can remain focused on your core business.

 

Allowing CBUSA the opportunity to discover the hidden value in your decommissioned assets can provide you the opportunity for:

  • Funding future technology initiatives

  • Cross organizational projects

  • Capital funding

  • Surplus dollars
