Business Computer Equipment Decommissioning & Removal © 2009 By Peter E. Evanetz. All Rights Reserved.

For business owners, the acquisition of new computer equipment often means the replacement / displacement of old equipment. Once the new computer equipment is up and running smoothly, it leaves the old computer with information still left on it, as well as old peripheral equipment, media and manuals which need to be safely and responsibly dealt with.

At the end of a computer's life there is going to be data and valuable information left on all sorts of old media such as floppy disks, tapes, zip disks, CDs, manuals and old hard drives that will be required to be collected, sorted, recognized and responsibly dealt with. The data, valuable information and media it is stored on will be required to be retained, backed-up, or destroyed ... and responsibly disposed of.

It is important for managers to recognize decommissioning is part of the computer removal process - it is the first step. You can not dispose of a company computer [scrap, sell, give away, or trade in] without first making sure all the data is removed from it and dealt with appropriately (backed-up or destroyed, and properly stored or disposed of).

Before releasing the equipment from active business use and scraping, selling, giving away, or trading in the equipment, one needs to engage in equipment marking and documentation to confirm they have been decommissioned; they are identified as out of service - non active computers; and once removed from the business premises, they will not being mistaken for stolen computers.
