| JACKSON, Miss. - July 17, 2008
Intechra is one of only five companies to achieve IDC's first certification in Green IT Recycling and Asset Disposal for the Enterprise (G.R.A.D.E.). IDC's analysis, 2008 Assessment of U.S. IT Asset Disposal Service Providers (Doc #213383, July 2008), is based on a thorough review of strategy, policies, operations and results.
Intechra is the largest full-service ITAD company in the country, operating six processing facilities from coast to coast and a national logistics network.
"Receiving IDC's G.R.A.D.E. certification validates our strategy and the many investments we have made to build the best ITAD company possible," Intechra CEO Chip Slack said. "This also reinforces to our clients, which include 54 of the Fortune 100 companies, that Intechra is the right choice for managing the lifecycle of their IT assets."
The IDC G.R.A.D.E. certification process is based on 34 IT Asset Disposal (ITAD)-related functions and tasks and uses a multi-dimensional weighting system that incorporates the broad offerings of remote applications, onsite services, logistics, in-plant processing and post treatment. IDC G.R.A.D.E. certification is currently focused on the U.S. market. IDC has reviewed 25 providers to date.
"Our goal was to clear up confusion in the marketplace by creating an objective system for evaluating and certifying ITAD providers," said David Daoud, IDC research manager. "Intechra stood out as a top-notch provider in all categories."
Intechra is the only ITAD provider with national logistics capabilities, allowing it to manage shipping costs and a secure chain of custody for clients with multiple locations across the country.
Slack said several factors, in addition to Intechra's national footprint and logistics services, contributed to its IDC certification. He pointed to Intechra's status as a single integrated provider for all services (remanufacturing, remarketing and recycling), the company's commitment to ISO quality certification at all facilities and the comprehensive reporting to clients about the final disposition of all materials.
Intechra also is the only independent provider among the five IDC certified. Intechra does not have a parent company, nor is ITAD one of many lines of business. This independence assures Intechra's clients of an unbiased approach to asset value recovery, access to expansive remarketing channels and a singular focus on best practices for asset lifecycle management.
