The Secret to Streamlined IT Asset Management

Data security and compliance are non-negotiable, but cost optimization and efficiency are just as essential for organizations facing tight budgets and strict time constraints.

The right IT asset disposition (ITAD) services partner can make all the difference. When IT managers at a large healthcare organization needed visibility into their end-of-life assets, they learned how Spectrum Pro could provide real-time status, detailed reports that offered greater confidence in the disposition process, and insights to help them streamline their operations.

For busy IT Managers, NCS Global, A Celestica Company, offers expert guidance, proven processes, and operational execution to complete the job quickly and efficiently. We have honed our craft over the course of a quarter of a century in the business. With our newly expanded capabilities, the ITAD experts at NCS Global can help companies streamline their IT asset management even more effectively.

Understanding NCS Capabilities

NCS Global has long held a leadership position in the ITAD industry, offering efficient, secure, environmentally beneficial services to clients of all sizes. As a pioneer in electronics recycling, NCS has developed a rich body of best practices for handling IT assets, securely destroying data on decommissioned devices, refurbishing and remarketing equipment, and reusing or recycling component parts. We have the people, the processes, and the technology to deliver on our customers’ needs.

With our recent acquisition by Celestica, NCS now offers an even stronger suite of capabilities to our customers. While we continue to work with a strong network of partners around the world, NCS now has a physical presence in multiple locations, including Rochester, New Hampshire, Richardson, Texas, and Hino, Japan.

We’ve standardized our ITAD operations across all of those locations to ensure our clients get the same quality of services they have always enjoyed, with a consistent experience every time. We extend that even further by leveraging our network of high-quality partners, enhancing our overall scalability, and offering expertise and services covering a broader IT asset lifecycle spectrum.

Data Security Assurance

You shouldn’t entrust your retired assets to just anyone. It’s vitally important to work with a certified ITAD provider who understands the necessity of data security and has the expertise to ensure absolute compliance with all applicable standards.

NCS Global offers robust options for certified data destruction, including secure erasure (data wiping), hard drive shredding, and degaussing. Our proprietary EcoErase Software is an industry-leading data destruction product that ensures complete and irreversible erasure of your sensitive information.

We can also tailor our data destruction services for each client with services that include on-site shredding of hard drives, remote data wiping, or simultaneous operations spanning multiple locations nationally or globally. We work with many clients that require custom protocols to fulfill compliance standards and further reduce the possibility of data breaches.

For example, when a global shipping company needed to decommission multiple data centers in a single day, guarantee security and compliance, and maximize cost recovery from its retired IT assets, the company called on NCS Global, its long-time ITAD services partner, to provide the custom-tailored services needed. NCS got the job done, securely destroying the company’s data and decommissioning multiple data centers over a period of just six hours.

NCS Global is certified by eStewards, ensuring that we meet strict standards for operational excellence, data security, and environmentally sustainable practices. As proof that we meet these rigorous eStewards standards, we regularly submit to independent audits by certified industry experts.
