Case Study: Major Pharmaceutical Company achieves compliant, cost-effective data destruction with Ingram Micro Commerce & Lifecycle Services

Ingram Micro ITAD helped a pharmaceutical company meet strict ITAD security requirements & provided end-of-life solution

Major Pharmaceutical Company needed a compliant, nationwide IT Asset Disposition solution for end-of-life equipment. The company’s challenge was to meet strict data security, regulatory, and environmental requirements while keeping costs down, including the need for all media devices to be physically destroyed before leaving each facility. Ingram Micro Commerce & Lifecycle Services provided Ingram Micro ITAD data security and disposal services to address these needs.

Ingram Micro Commerce & Lifecycle Services deployed onsite destruction capabilities at each location, tracked devices by serial number and destruction time, and securely transported sanitized assets to its facilities for further processing and recycling. The program delivered detailed chain-of-custody, audit, destruction, and recycling reports, processed over 40,000 assets annually, reduced the client’s IT workload, and achieved an 85% cost savings versus the previous program.
