The ICT Reverse IT Asset Audit Process

Choose ICT Reverse and you’ll have complete peace of mind that your assets are carefully and securely managed at every stage of the process right from the initial

consultation to the final implementation. 

• Initial Consultation and Planning

Call ICT Reverse today on 01524 580900 or email [email protected]. You will be assigned to one of our experienced Account Managers who will be your point of contact from start to finish. Your Account Manager will request an equipment inventory detailing the approximate specification and quantities of mobiles and IT equipment to be collected. In order to facilitate processing times, please follow our pre-collection advice on preparing your assets prior to them being collected by ICT Reverse.

• Secure Collection

ICT Reverse will arrange a secure collection of your IT equipment on a date and time convenient to you. At this stage, your order will be allocated a unique reference

known as an (AAR). Once collected and returned to our approved, authorised, treatment facility (AATF) the data bearing items will be segregated into non-hazardous and hazardous WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment).

• Analysis and Reporting

Every item will be logged against the unique AAR number in order to provide you with a full asset management report for your redundant equipment. At this point a

barcode label is produced with a unique reference number to that asset within the AAR number. This is displayed as a barcode on the asset and is scanned at

each stage of the process which updates our system of its status and location. All units will be cleaned, followed by the removal of any customer identification markings that could trace the equipment back to you. A visual safety and cosmetic check of the unit is carried out to check for any damage that would constitute a safety concern. A full functionality diagnosis of the asset is then performed by our trained technicians. The result of these initial tests will decide if the unit can continue with the standard process or if it should be redirected to recycling or destruction.

• Recommendations and Implementation

The technical process will then vary depending on the product type and customer requirements. In most cases, a data erasure process is performed to all data bearing assets using Blancco software. Any items that fail the data erasure process are removed and destroyed using the crusher or shredder. Following the

process, you will receive a full Due Diligence Pack including all the necessary certification to demonstrate that you comply with the latest legislation in the event of an Environmental Audit. This includes a Duty of Care Waste Transfer Certificate, Asset Audit Report, Recovery Certificate, Blancco Report (if applicable) & Data Destruction Certificate (if applicable).

What are they key benefits of an IT asset audit?

Regular IT asset audits are crucial for businesses. They encourage improved asset management, cost savings, enhanced surety and data-driven decision making.

• Improved asset management

Up to date asset data allows organisations to easily forecast their asset refreshes without risk of under/over purchasing assets.

Cost savings play an important role in IT asset management. IT managers can easily track down and locate available equipment for re-use and re-deployment within a business rather than purchasing new equipment.

All IT assets processed by ICT Reverse are given a unique AAR number and follow strict guidelines to ensure that they are tracked at every stage of the audit process.  We have a 100% data erasure or destruction policy for all assets.
