Mico is proud to announce the launch of its itad Solutions Division.
Managing Director Andrew Craig enthused: “itad doesn't have to become a long-term headache. If you act now, you can soon relax in the knowledge that you've built a solution for your company. By maximising your return on end-of-life IT assets, you can absorb most, if not all, of the costs associated with responsible itad management.”
We pay you for your old IT equipment
Mico is South Africa's number one refurbisher and re-marketer of Tier 1 IT equipment. It is an expert at grading and valuing businesses' end-of-life IT assets.
Increase your social responsibility profile
Donate old equipment to charity - Mico will refurbish, re-licence, re-install and support the units that you donate to charity.
Empower your staff
Donate computers to your staff for their own use at home. Help bridge the digital divide by providing your staff's families with access to the Internet, PC training and support. Mico manages the entire process for you.
Minimise your risk
Don't fall foul of new waste legislation. Avoid penalties and improper conduct by consulting with Mico on your itad needs.
Has your data been properly erased?
Don't rely on the assurances of internal staff when it comes to data on your servers and PCs. Mico erases data to US Department of Defence Standards. All your retired assets will be certified 100% cleansed.
If your old computers have been donated to others, is the new owner legally licensed to use the software?
Microsoft's anti-piracy team is very strict on the issue of second users who install MS software. Mico is an Authorised Refurbisher and an OEM installer of Microsoft software for refurbished computers. The only way to legally re-install Microsoft software is to refurbish and re-licence the computer according to MS' rules. Mico is an expert in the re-licensing of refurbished computers.
Avoid non-compliance penalties
The National Environment Management Waste Act: 2008 is prescriptive in terms of the treatment of itad. Contact the expert for a free consultation. Mico is a founder member of eWASA (itad Association of South Africa); it is up to speed with all legislation and best practices.
Recycle responsibly
Caring for the environment has increasingly become the responsibility of corporations and their managers. Because computers contain potentially hazardous waste (plastic, cadmium, lead, beryllium, among others), old IT equipment can/should be refurbished, re-used and recycled.
When this happens, the cycle of dumping future toxins is broken. Mico is an expert in this process. Contact Mico to get a free consultation on your itad requirements.Contact us for a free consultation
