THE
"QUICK FIX" THAT ISN'T A FIX AT ALL.
Challenge: A company reorganizes and finds itself saddled
with "surplus" and "out-of-service" information technology (IT)
equipment. Management turns to a liquidator to "eliminate the problem",
netting only pennies on the dollar.
The Ombligo Solution: Surplus IT equipment is not a problem
to be eliminated, it is a source of capital to be recovered. Our
extensive network of sales channels – including direct sales
channels and online outlets generates maximum value from every asset.
"STICK TO YOUR KNITTING"
Challenge: Faced with surplus IT equipment, a manufacturer
decides to dispose of its assets, “we’ll do it ourselves.”
Trying to reach buyers proves enormously time-consuming since this
is not the company’s core business. It becomes apparent that
the time and expense of this do-it-yourself effort far exceeds the
actual return.
The Ombligo Solution: Our specialized logistics process
and extensive sales network are specifically designed to derive
maximum value from idle assets. Ombligo provides clients with superior
return on idle assets, with the cost-effectiveness and simplicity
of true outsourcing.
HOW A "WIN-WIN" BECOMES A BIG LOSS
Challenge: An organization with “out-of-service”
IT equipment initiates an Employee Purchase Program with the goal
of a “win-win” scenario. Employees would get discounted
IT equipment while the organization would recover some of its investment.
The reality is managing a program of this nature is a time-consuming
and detail oriented task for which staff members do not have the
time or the experience. The company exposes itself to new liabilities,
including, data eradication, software licensing compliance, sales
tax remittance, packaging and shipping, etc.
The Ombligo Solution: Ombligo designs, implements and manages
comprehensive employee purchase programs. Our redeployment services
encompass detailed inventory management, logistics and certified
software installation. Our complete outsourced solution generates
priceless goodwill among our clients’ employees while simultaneously
helping our clients recover some of their investment in IT equipment.
