Every day, businesses across the globe issue millions of corporate-owned IT assets — including smartphones, tablets and laptops — to employees. With corporate data more valuable than ever, every unrecovered corporate-owned asset poses a serious data-loss risk for organizations.
Recent data indicates that more than 70 percent of online fraud is targeted through mobile platforms like smartphones and tablets. This is why Tech Orchard is partnering exclusively with Mobile reCell and VMware to deploy its mobile device lifecycle management and recovery program. Ultimately, the service ensures that as IT assets are retired or upgraded, displaced hardware is secured and data is fully destroyed.
Backed by a full stack of API integrations and configurable workflows, Mobile reCell’s logic-based automation drives recovery behaviors at the end-user level. When paired with the VMware Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub, end users have a frictionless experience returning retired or upgraded assets.
Enterprises can define processes to reconcile every asset to an end user without using spreadsheets, resulting in a 96 percent decrease in time spent on refresh, recovery and buyback processes. With an automated process in place, every IT asset is processed the same — allowing IT teams to focus on more strategic initiatives. Recovering nearly every deployed IT asset increases an enterprise’s security posture and furthers the organization’s sustainability initiatives.
In 2021 alone, more than $120 billion was infused globally into sustainable investments, influencing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives, policies, and business strategies. More than 40 percent of CIOs expect technology to have a significant impact on sustainability over the next three years. Customized environmental impact reports show how each IT asset lifecycle program is creating a sustainable solution — by reselling, reusing and recycling assets — and saving e-waste materials from landfills.
Believe it or not, this program more than pays for itself. Mobile reCell’s software provides full transparency into asset functionality testing and cosmetic grading processes, enabling enterprises to understand the true value of their idle and retired assets. With an established marketplace of ready-to-purchase buyers, enterprises are seeing the highest returns for mobile assets in years. And because this is an automated, end-user-centric process, more than 95 percent of assets are recovered, on average — more than three times the industry average of 30 percent.
