What is itad work?
When orginizations upgrade IT and tech equipment, something has to be done with the old equipment. With an increasing global effort to minimize our ecological footprint, E-waste still carries huge ecological impact.

- Uninstallation & Removal
- Logistic management
- Data sanitization & Destruction
- Recyle, Refurbish, or Resell
