The McKinsey Quarterly recently released a survey (“A Rising Role for IT”) aimed at learning more about the role of IT in large organizations. When executives were asked to name their priorities for the IT department, the responses were ranked:

(1) Improving effectiveness of business processes

(2) Improving efficiency of business processes

(3) Reducing IT costs

The problem with these three priorities is that implementing any one may often come at the expense of the of the other two. Improving efficiency and effectiveness will typically cost you money, improved efficiency may reduce the overall effectiveness of your processes, and so on.  But what sets our solution apart is that it can offset your IT costs without detracting from the efficiency or effectiveness of your business processes. In fact, our service can actually help with these first two priorities.

We have found that the money our clients receive for their old devices can help them upgrade technology without incurring too heavy a cost. If you turnover your devices before the “Terrible Two’s” (second hand value for mobiles typically plummets two years after its release) you put yourself in a position to receive meaningful value back – a strategy that can help your organization increase the rate of its device upgrades. With newer and better equipment you and your organization are in a more favorable position to address all of the priorities listed - efficiency, effectiveness, new products/services, security, etc.
