Leading edge businesses from coast-to-coast and throughout Minnesota often lease their IT assets. The theory behind leasing combines reduced up front costs over purchasing expensive computers, laptops and data center equipment with the ability to upgrade within a short period of time.What many companies find, however, is that leases are up before the equipment has become obsolete, and employees are not always interested in porting files and starting over with a new machine.The numbers folks also find that the financial benefits of leasing often are outweighed by data security concerns and the hassle of returning off lease machines to the leasing company.An option exists that can combine the best of all worlds. Purchasing the off-lease IT assets typically is relatively inexpensive to do, and if new hardware is absolutely required, those off-lease computers can be sold, typically for more than the cost of buying out the lease.OceanTech is a Minneapolis company that recycles electronics of all kinds, from laptops and computers to printers, servers, networking equipment, telephone systems, and even racks and cabinets used in data centers.OceanTech typically pays as much as three times more than other electronics recycling companies, and most often that amount is more than the cost of buying out a lease.The option of selling or recycling off-lease IT assets to OceanTech comes with the added benefit of knowing that the data contained on the machines will be securely and safely removed. Secure data destruction is one of the key benefits of working with OceanTech, and most IT directors are far more comfortable with recycling and data destruction than with shipping off computers that may contain sensitive company information.For more information on recycling off-lease computers in Minnesota or anywhere in the United States, contact OceanTech at 612 331 4456.
