By integrating with the tools of our clients and partners, we can look at the estate, find out what needs to be upgraded or migrated, track the assets (via an innovative software and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) solution) to avoid data loss (and fines), and then ultimately retire them – for which, Lenovo offers asset recovery services for products approaching the end of their lifecycle, including data deployed by our clients. They use ReadyWorks to streamline asset lifecycle management processes including supply chain tracking, shipping and receiving, deployment, maintenance, inventory tracking, decommissioning, disposal, financial reporting and audit response. The result is better clarity and control over their environment, which helps them to make more informed decisions about purchasing, upgrading, and replacing hardware and software – as well as influencing removal, machine refurbishment, and sustainable material reuse.”

David adds, “I like to say that we build the best and we partner for the rest. The future offers unlimited opportunity for us. It is really exciting. We have so many areas to build upon. I am currently working on solutions for anti-money laundering, high frequency trading, and branch transformation, for instance. I really think we have plenty to contribute.”
