With the rapid evolution in the IT industry, many of the largest companies in the U.S. have discontinued the practice of buying computers, laptops and even high-end data center equipment in favor of lease options. At the end of the lease, companies are faced with either purchasing the leased IT hardware or leasing new.But one Minneapolis company provides an option to companies that have leased IT hardware: buy out the lease and then sell the equipment to OceanTech.Typical prices for buying out leased computers are low, and yet by the time the lease is up, it’s usually time to upgrade to a newer model. But when a business buys an off-lease machine, it has another option: recycle it for resale with Minneapolis-based OceanTech.OceanTech buys off-lease computers, laptops and other IT hardware, taking away the hassle for companies that are faced with the data security issue of proprietary company information that exists on the machines.Secure data destruction removes sensitive company information from leased equipment, and once the machines are returned to their original state, OceanTech has a large audience of buyers who want refurbished, restored laptops, computers and even tablets.Recycling or selling the equipment to a company like OceanTech eliminates the need to box up and return off-lease hardware. OceanTech typically pays more than the cost to buy out the lease, while at the same time eliminating the concerns over data security.All equipment is transported to a secure facility in Minneapolis where it is wiped clean, documented for auditing and control purposes, and then refurbished for resale. OceanTech typically pays as much as three times more than other electronics recyclers. They can do that because of their huge downstream buying pool. The company works with thousands of customers who rely on used equipment to keep their businesses and nonprofits up and running.For more information on selling your off lease IT hardware in Minnesota, contact OceanTech at 612 331 4456.
