Asset Management /Asset Recovery (*EPA Approved)
To remain productive and competitive in today's marketplace, you need to keep your IT
capabilities current by staying abreast of hardware and software advances. In the process, you often
end up with idle assets: desktops, laptops, printers and other equipment that no longer meet your
business requirements but still represent a significant investment. Devoting your own time and
resources to refurbish, redeploy or dispose of these assets lowers any gain you may realize and
detracts from your core business activities. Core Technologies, Inc. (CTI) can alleviate the time and
cost a business incurs managing and maintaining an aging IT infrastructure. Every issue and risk
associated with asset disposition is handled professionally and properly removing the responsibility
from your internal management. In fact, we create an opportunity for you to turn your IT
liabilities into income producing assets, drastically reducing expense and driving profit. So whether
it's redeployment, remarketing or recycling our team of experts work closely with you throughout
the entire process executing a "tailor-fit" strategy that drastically improves ROI.
CTI manages your businesses' assets end to end, from installation to retirement and beyond.
When CTI enters into an asset management agreement the primary step is to inventory all current
assets. Based on the requirements of the client, CTI will make an internal and/or external inventory
of these assets. After the inventory is complete, a decision will be made regarding consolidation,
upgrade, renewal, or disposal of individual assets. All removed assets are assessed based on
remaining life and either retired from service or entered into an inventory pool where the
individual assets can be redeployed at the request of the client. All retired equipment can be
processed through a variety of different channels; to include employee purchase programs and
revenue sharing strategies. All disposed equipment is ensured to have all data sanitized and
destroyed according to Department of Defense (DoD) standards and all equipment is disposed of
according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines.
CTI can help your business focus on staying competitive in the marketplace and not worry
about the logistics associated with managing an aging infrastructure. With the benefits of having
a proprietary asset inventory system, standardized configuration management, DoD data security
practices and strict EPA disposal standards, you can relax and be confident that everything will be
handled with your best interest in mind. |

Inventory
External Inventory
An external inventory provides a detailed report of all assets in the environment
regardless of their utilization. We collect asset specific information available on the
exterior of the asset as well as user demographic information including the precise
location of the asset.
Internal Inventory
An internal inventory audit provides a detailed list of installed software on each
works tation, including manufacturer name and software titles with revision levels
identified. The software database and information such as BIOS revision dates,
installed memory, available hard disk space, and software revision levels are also
collected. Internal inventories can often be accomplished across your network
eliminating the need to visit each desktop.
Internal / External Inventory
Providing detailed hardware and software information, this comprehensive
inventory provides an overall understanding of your IT assets. Coupled with
department and accurate location information this combination of both External and
Internal processes provides a means to accurately determine the upgrades necessary
to solve many specific business requirements.
Inventory Database
CTI creates a data base inventory of all assets that is accessible to the client and
anyone deemed by the client to have access. An on-line, continuously updated
inventory is available to see what assets are where and what is scheduled for removal. |

Re-Deployment
Many companies can find a larger return on their technology investments by cycling their
computer assets within the organization. Based upon your specific requirements,
equipment is inventoried, audited and reported back to you in digital or paper formats. You select which items get redeployed or stored while remaining equipment is processed. CTI also offers upgrade services to extend the life and functionality of aging equipment, software installation and shipping services. CTI will schedule and arrange for the pickup of the assets, providing detailed receipt and audit tests, reconfiguration, staging, image loading and device refurbishing. |

remote office or a large headquarters facility efficiently and effectively from any location throughout the United States. CTI has provided diverse de-installation, pick-up, transportation and delivery services tailored to the unique requirements of our customers.

EPA certificate # GAR000050104 (GA DEPT of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division-Hazardous Waste Branch). Data security is a key requisite of and effective asset disposition program and the CTI process meets the Government Standard set forth in DoD 5220.22-M for completing a minimum 3 pass overwrite.

All scrap equipment is recycled and never disposed of in landfills. |

technology assets. CTI has intimate knowledge and experience managing leased

process. We understand how the equipment leasing companies value aging assets. CTI
