NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ERI, the nation’s largest fully integrated IT and electronics asset disposition (ITAD) provider and cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction company, has been named as a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner Market Guide* for the ITAD industry.
According to Gartner, “Sustainability requirements are compounding the ongoing ITAD challenges of data security and sound reuse/recycling. Sourcing, procurement and vendor management leaders can use this Market Guide to navigate the ITAD market, assess growing compliance risks and identify representative ITAD providers.”
A Market Guide defines a market and explains what clients can expect it to do in the short term. With the focus on early, more chaotic markets, a Market Guide does not rate or position vendors within the market, but rather more commonly outlines attributes of representative vendors that are providing offerings in the market to give further insight into the market itself.
“We’re proud to be named a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner Market Guide for IT Asset Disposition,” said John Shegerian, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of ERI. “We believe that not only has ERI repeatedly met the strictest standards of environmental and operational excellence, we also continue to reconfirm our ongoing commitment to data destruction. Proper destruction of private digital data has become a crucially important issue.”
