Companies in Minnesota that lease computers and laptops for their employees often think they are getting the best deal. They typically don’t have to worry about their leased equipment becoming obsolete, and when the lease is up, they are free to buy the equipment or upgrade – for a price.The problem is there’s usually more to it than that. Leasing companies require businesses to ship their computers, laptops, printers and other equipment back to them, and most companies are not comfortable with the idea of sending off a machine that contains sensitive company information.A better option, particularly for Minnesota-based companies, is to buy out the lease and then recycle the computers. One recycling company not only ensures secure data destruction and the removal of all sensitive company information, but they also typically pay more than the cost of the lease buy-out.OceanTech is a Minneapolis company that works with Minnesota businesses to buy off lease computers and IT assets. They provide Responsible Recycling and secure data destruction, as well as value recovery – often two to three times more than most electronics recycling companies pay.OceanTech can make these sorts of offers because they recycle for resale, and they have a large downstream market of businesses, school districts, and non profits ready to buy late model off-lease computers, laptops and other IT assets.While it is possible for a business to manage this sort of process on their own, most find that there is peace of mind in ensuring that the hard drives on off lease computers are wiped clean. Because OceanTech employs the industry’s best practices, documents all hardware sanitization by serial number, and provides the audit paperwork most business need, they have found a ready and willing market of Minnesota businesses interested in selling them their off lease computers.Minnesota businesses that lease IT assets for multiple locations can utilize the services of OceanTech to manage their off lease computers and worldwide electronics recycling.

Effective ITAD strategies for Data Centers
In the ever-evolving landscape of data management, businesses frequently encounter the need to retire their data center hardware. Such scenarios often arise when companies decide to shut down all or part of a data center operation. The process of decommissioning a data center is riddled with logistical intricacies, and among these, planning for the disposition of retired assets stands out as a crucial aspect. The dismantling of data center equipment without a well-thought-out strategy for reuse, remarketing, or secure disposal can lead to a host of problems.
