Is a computer junkyard growing in your company? The real cost of in-house PC retirement – According to a recent report by Gartner Research, in-house disposal “presents unique challenges and potential costs that enterprises seldom consider.” By some estimates, when a company tries to manage its own in-house retirement, the costs can exceed $400 per computer! Why so much? Consider these hidden costs: Basic in-house disposal management costs *Administrative tasks (inventory, forms, accounting, etc.) * Backing up and sanitizing hard drives *Storage costs until computers are removed *Packing and shipping *Disposal fee *Opportunity costs (i.e. Could this time be used more profitably?)
Optional in-house employee sale and/or charitable donation costs *Hosting sale (pricing, setting up sales area, asking questions, etc.) *Finding charitable organizations that will accept your PC’s *Reloading operating systems *Testing PC’s *Processing payments *Technical support *Preparing transfer documents
That’s not all…If you’re planning on offsetting those costs by reselling your equipment, you’d better do it soon. It’s estimated that stored IT equipment loses 6% to l0% of its value each month, |
