New site showcases The ITAD Association members who have achieved ITAD certification
disposITion Summit – October 14, 2020 – The Association of Service and Computer Dealers (The ITAD Association), a leading alliance of IT and UC companies, is announcing today at it’s virtual disposITion summit, which starts at 11:00 AM eastern US time today, the launching of a new service for enterprises looking for Information Technology Asset Disposition service providers (ITAD). The The ITAD Association has launched a website, www.itadcertify.com, where enterprises can find The ITAD Association members who have who have achieved ITAD accreditation, all in one place.
Today, enterprises are looking more and more for suppliers who can perform services such as data wiping, refurbishment, secure logistics and recycling services. Companies who have embraced and offer those services are known as Information Technology Asset Disposition servicing firms (ITAD).
There are several accreditation/standard bodies including ADISA, R2, RIOS and e-Stewards that have put in place procedures and audits that govern what an ITAD service provider should and should not do to be considered and ITAD. The new site, www.itadcertify.com, identifies companies who are ITAD accredited and governed by The ITAD Association Code of Ethics as The ITAD Association members.
“For almost fifty years, The ITAD Association has stood for setting industry standards,” said The ITAD Association President Joe Marion. “As we live through the era of digital transformation, the proper disposition of IT equipment is more important than ever,” Marion added. Historically, The ITAD Association Code of Ethics has set a strong standard which governs how The ITAD Association members interface with their customers. With the evolution of new environmental and data privacy laws, ITAD represents a critical standard for both buyers and sellers in IT markets. The ITAD Association’s new online service will pull these two standards together in one place.
“Offering a site that offers customers a choice between companies who have all achieved two industry standards, by becoming ITAD certified, and by being elected by peer companies into The ITAD Association membership, is in keeping with The ITAD Association commitment to offering the market choice and standards, at the same time,” said Marion.
