Asset Management

A growing trend for many companies is to outsource their IT hardware management to a third party depot repair company. The third party holds the inventory and ships out good hardware to replace broken equipment. The defective equipment is then returned to the vendor, repaired and then put back on the shelf for the next time. The vendor can also configure and prep equipment before it goes out to the store or end-user. They can remove many of the pressures associated with peak season problems.
