Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today announced that it is
now offering Retire-IT’s certified chain-of-custody services to
customers of Arrow’s Value Recovery business.
Arrow has always provided secure chain-of-custody options to its
clients. This collaboration with Retire-IT provides Arrow’s Value
Recovery customers who require a highly secure chain-of-custody
with the added option of utilizing a third-party provider to verify
that all of their IT assets are accounted for throughout the
shipping and refurbishment processes.
“Chain-of-custody is a critical security requirement for all of
Arrow’s Value Recovery clients,” said Joep van Loon, vice president
of Arrow's Value Recovery business in North America. “Arrow's Value
Recovery business is focused on providing the most secure and
trusted solution for our clients—they turn to us because we are the
most effective and most transparent provider in this space. In
addition to Arrow’s already-comprehensive services, our clients can
now have chain-of-custody verified by an independent third-party in
order to satisfy their requirements under various privacy laws and
regulations.”
Retire-IT is a leading chain-of-custody specialist in IT asset
disposition (ITAD). The company pioneered the use of ITAD disposal
tags to deter employee theft and establish an unbroken
chain-of-custody for retired equipment. Retire-IT’s proprietary
tracking software can instantly verify the custody of a specific IT
asset, automating the inventory-reconciliation process.
“Chain-of-custody is not a catchphrase," said Tyler Parks, vice
president of Retire-IT. “As an industry leader, Arrow recognizes
that its clients require chain-of-custody for privacy compliance.
By providing its clients with independent verification and
effective tools, Arrow demonstrates a deep commitment to
transparency and shows why it is a trusted provider for
security-conscious organizations.”
Arrow’s Value Recovery business works with its customers to
securely refurbish computers, tablets, smartphones and other
electronic devices for additional use, or repurpose their
still-valuable component parts for other uses. Whenever possible,
Arrow emphasizes extending the life of these devices by selling
them, redeploying them within organizations or donating them. Arrow
has been recognized as a global leader for its Value Recovery work
by the independent information technology research and advisory
firm Gartner.
