Webinar Highlights Best Practices for IT Asset Disposal
Converge and IAITAM invite IT pros to free online discussion June 10.
Peabody, MA (PRWEB) June 4, 2008 -- Converge and the International Association of Information Technology Asset Managers (IAITAM) will host an online discussion on June 10 focused on strategies for managing the security and compliance risks of "retired" IT assets.
It is estimated that consumers and businesses will replace more than 925 million PCs worldwide by 2010. As privacy and environmental regulations change, IT leaders must learn to adapt.
"The growing volumes of end-of-life equipment, combined with increased liability requirements for improper disposal, are creating an imperfect storm of risks and new responsibilities," says Chris Adam, director of IT asset disposition for Converge. "It goes way beyond being 'green.' IT asset disposition is fast becoming a strategic business issue with legal, security and productivity ramifications."
Information technology, security and procurement managers from all industries are invited to attend this free one-hour webinar discussing the latest developments and best practices for IT asset disposition.
