Asset Recovery Solutions

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 - properly, economically, and if at all possible, profitably.

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

Get more value out of your equipment
Our Fixed Price Buyback offering provides you with the opportunity to maximise the value of your redundant assets by receiving cash back for units which have a remarketable value. We agree a set buyback price with you up front and then following the receipt of your assets we confirm the specification of each machine and test its functionality. For assets in good working order, we will pay you the agreed buyback price. IBM then absorbs the inventory risk during the sale cycle to the secondary market.

• Hard file data cleansing
  Hard file data is cleansed via an overwrite process. GARS can offer different levels of data removal to meet your requirements.
• Packing and transportation
  These services can be tailored to meet your specific needs. GARS can arrange for packing, pickup and transport of your assets right from your own loading dock.
• Reconfiguration and redeployment services
  Receipt, sorting, refurbishment, storage and redistribution of your company's used assets. This is a cost-effective and efficient option for cascading assets within an organisation or for redistributing to charitable organisations.
• Inventory/warehousing analysis
  Send your surplus assets to our single, central location, and free up valuable space.

• Be more competitive in your business
  Cash back for late model equipment makes it more affordable to refresh your technology more often.
• Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
  Properly calculated TCO encompasses the entire equipment life cycle - including disposal. Efficient and timely resale through IBM Asset Recovery Solutions can significantly offset these costs.
• Reduce risk
  Since proprietary or sensitive data recovered from your hard drives can result in serious business or security consequences, disk overwrite services from IBM Asset Recovery Solutions provides data sanitization services to help you manage these risks. To further protect your company, we provide certification that the overwrite process has been performed on your hard drives.
