Company and customer data
Retired laptops can hold confidential company and customer information. Each needs a documented erasure.
Businesses and enterprises
Corporate ITAD. Every laptop closed out.
K12 Computers provides IT asset disposition for businesses and enterprises: employee laptops, office desktops, Apple devices and servers. Every device is erased to NIST 800-88 guidelines and tracked by serial number, equipment with resale value earns a payout, and the rest is recycled through R2v3-certified processes.

What is at stake
Why disposition matters here.
Asset records
Finance and IT need to close out each asset. Serialized reports make that simple.
Refresh budgets
Resale value from the old fleet can offset the new one.
01
Close out every asset
Finance and IT both need to retire assets from their records. K12 records each device by serial number at pickup and reports erasure and final disposition, so the asset register can be closed with evidence.
02
Employee purchase programs
Some companies offer retired laptops to employees before selling the rest. K12's public resale service can be tailored to an organization's employees as well as the general market, after every device is erased to NIST SP 800-88 guidelines.
What we take
From one office to every location.
K12 collects retired equipment from offices of any size, documents every device and returns value on equipment that can be resold.
