A 12-Step Program To Dispose
of Old IT Gear

1. Introduction and Evaluation

The customer and Converge make contact, either through active soliciting by the company or as a result of the customer seeking out an asset-disposal company. Often customers find the company through its Web site, www.converge.com. Converge evaluates the equipment needing disposal and presents various options to the customer. These options include overwriting data, erasing data with a magnetic device called the "degauzer" or shredding hard drives. Customers weigh their corporate risk tolerance in choosing an option.
