About XITAD
IT Asset Disposition with more insight, more control and less complexity
XITAD helps organizations phase out IT hardware. From valuation and competing bids to data destruction, transport and reporting: everything is brought together within one verifiable process.
We arose from a simple observation. Many organizations replace hardware without insight into the actual market value of their equipment.
XITAD brings these elements together within one environment, so organizations keep a grip on residual value, compliance and execution.
Mission & vision
XITAD was founded to make IT phase-out simpler, more transparent and more demonstrable. Our mission and vision guide every choice we make.
Making the true value of retired IT visible.
By bringing valuation, competitive bids, data destruction and documentation together within one controlled process, we help organizations achieve more insight, more control and better accountability.
IT phase-out deserves the same control as IT management.
We believe in a market in which every handover is demonstrable, every storage medium is processed responsibly and the market value of hardware becomes transparently visible. A market in which organizations do not have to rely on assumptions, but can steer on facts.
Why XITAD exists
Phasing out IT hardware brings a lot together: valuation, data destruction, transport, documentation and reporting.
What is often missing is oversight of the whole. What is the equipment really worth, has every storage medium been demonstrably processed, and does the documentation add up?
XITAD brings these elements together in one controlled process, with central documentation and competitive bids, so the outcome is demonstrable and traceable.
More insight into the market value
Many organizations receive a single bid on their hardware and have few options to compare that bid.
XITAD brings projects to the attention of specialized partners within an international network of refurbishers, remarketing companies and professional IT traders.
By comparing several bids side by side, a better substantiated picture of the current market value of the equipment emerges.
The final choice always remains with the client.
Data destruction before further processing
For hardware that contains data, data destruction is independent of the final destination of the equipment.
Storage media are processed according to the agreed method, including certified data destruction, physical destruction or a combination of both.
Only after the required documentation is available is equipment released for further processing, reuse or sale.
This keeps the burden of proof independent of the final transaction.
One process, one record
IT phase-out touches multiple disciplines at once.
That is why certificates, reports, handovers and project information are recorded centrally within one environment.
This keeps documentation, audit trails and project results available from one source.
Transparency as a starting point
XITAD does not buy hardware for its own account.
Our goal is to give organizations insight into the available options for processing, reuse and market value.
That is why bids, documentation and project information remain visible throughout the process.
The starting point is a verifiable process in which it remains clear what happens, when it happens and how it is recorded.
What we believe in
Retired IT represents more than just equipment.
It touches data, compliance, logistics, sustainability and financial value.
We believe organizations are entitled to a process that brings these elements together within one environment, supported by documentation, control and market transparency.
That is the role XITAD wants to fulfil.
