Make ITAD consistent across countries before assets reach end of life.
Egiss helps enterprises govern asset recovery, data sanitisation, chain of custody, refurbishment, remarketing, recycling and reporting as part of the technology lifecycle.
ITAD connected to Retire, sustainability reporting and lifecycle visibility.
ITAD risk grows when every country retires assets differently.
Used technology still carries data, residual value, compliance obligations and environmental impact. If ITAD processes vary by country, enterprise teams may struggle to prove what was recovered, how data was sanitised, what value was captured and how assets were recycled or reused.
Global ITAD governance brings retirement into the lifecycle before assets disappear from view.
Common symptoms
Signs ITAD governance is weak.
- Country teams use different ITAD providers.
- Asset recovery starts too late.
- Chain-of-custody evidence is incomplete.
- Data sanitisation documentation varies.
- Reusable assets move to recycling too quickly.
- Residual value is not tracked consistently.
- ESG reporting lacks reliable recovery and recycling data.
- Security and compliance teams must collect evidence manually.
- ITAD is not connected to refresh planning or asset visibility.
The Egiss approach
Govern retirement as part of Deploy, Manage and Retire.
Egiss helps enterprises connect ITAD governance to lifecycle visibility, recovery planning, sanitisation evidence, residual value, sustainability reporting and supplier accountability.
- Define recovery and return processes.
- Align chain-of-custody expectations.
- Support data sanitisation and evidence handling.
- Identify reuse, refurbishment and remarketing opportunities.
- Route non-reusable assets to responsible recycling.
- Report on disposition, residual value and sustainability outputs.
- Connect ITAD to lifecycle governance and reporting.
Business impact
Stronger ITAD governance reduces risk and recovers value.
- Clearer asset recovery ownership.
- More consistent sanitisation evidence.
- Better chain-of-custody documentation.
- Stronger audit readiness.
- Higher visibility into residual value.
- Better reuse and recycling decisions.
- More credible sustainability reporting.
- Fewer disconnected end-of-life suppliers.
Buyer committee value
ITAD governance answers different questions for each stakeholder.
Security and compliance
Can we prove where assets went and how data was sanitised?
ESG
Can we document reuse, recycling, circularity and environmental impact?
Finance
Can we recover and report residual value consistently?
IT operations
Can we reduce ad hoc returns and unclear recovery handoffs?
Procurement
Can ITAD be governed as part of the supplier model, not a separate local process?
ITAD governance needs scoped proof.
