We focus on hardware and software asset management. The results we are achieving support IT Security as they have fewer endpoints to worry about and Financially IT is able to keep our asset register clean. We are now working with IT leaders to recertify our more costly applications to ensure we have solutions that still drive value

When it comes to ITAD and primarily on cloud-based assets, we only focus on two aspects:
1. Data Destruction leading to regulatory compliance and
2. Asset management leading to costs optimisation.
All other efforts in this realm are of diminishing return on efforts.
So, we concentrate on above two through our contracts with cloud service providers and manage them through identifying key risk indicators in our asset management policy. Connect if you would like to know more about the process that needs to be in place.

Given today's events with the CrowdStrike outage causing significant disruptions worldwide, do you believe that the developer of the operating system should also be responsible for critical applications, such as antivirus software, that run within the OS? I would like to draw your attention to the example of drivers, which undergo a certification process.

Microsoft or Apple or the OS developer should be accountable 43%

Only the software developer should be accountable 48%
