Great news today from HP Financial Services group: Leading global IT industry analyst firm, IDC, certified HP as an asset disposal vendor.  What exactly does that mean?  “Asset disposition” refers to the re-use, recycling and de-commission of the IT assets a company no longer needs.  Those assets run the gamut of computer hardware, including printers, monitors, disk-drives or even servers. 

Being a Certified IT Asset Disposal Vendor means IDC has evaluated and certified that business customers can have confidence in HP’s ability to safely and securely dispose of their IT assets – whether they’re made by HP or another manufacturer.  IDC’s certification criteria covered 34 separate functions and tasks, including manufacturing processes, end-of-use practices, environmentally sound practices and ability to help customers safeguard proprietary information.

HP Financial Services is the company’s asset management and leasing subsidiary and a very important partner to our WW Sales & Services organization.  Intelligent disposition of older IT assets is critically important to our customers.  The IDC certification provides additional assurance that HP is the ideal partner for optimizing their imaging and printing infrastructure, managing the environment, improving workflows or supporting their environmental stewardship.
