You have just completed your business plan to the CIO. You've hit all the major points; a brief and dynamic Executive Summary, qualitative business analysis, quantifiable financial benefits, regulatory compliance, market and industry analysis, implementation and migration strategies, and training. But somewhere in the recesses, you know a single component of your proposal is missing.

Scenario 2

You nervously tap your fingers on a disconnected keyboard as you struggle with where to set up a desk for your newest hire. Floor space is always at a premium. Your mind momentarily drifts to the AlphaServer 2100 in the corner of your office. What a great choice you made in 1993. It's performed beyond all your expectations. Not only was it robust enough for your latest applications, but the last six months it also served as the best combination rollaway credenza and laptop holder. What are you going to do with your new employee?

The answer in both scenarios is Atrion's Asset Recovery Program.

Our Account Executives can recommend several opportunities designed to help your company benefit by trading in your aging or unused equipment; and reinvesting the resulting credits into new technologies. For example, we may suggest Hewlett-Packard's Trade-In Program that offers manufacturer discounts on your new purchases. Or perhaps we would utilize our extensive client portfolio to match your de-commissioned equipment with a company looking to install their first SAN, or upgrade their server farm at a nominal cost. Atrion can facilitate these possibilities in confidence, on a consignment basis. At the very least, we can save you time by affordably removing, recycling, or disposing of your older technology.

Any or all of these options may be the missing piece to your business plan. A residual value of several hundred or even a thousand dollars may be just what the CIO ordered. Please call your Atrion account executive at (908) 218-1100 for a FREE quote. All brands and models may be considered. Remember, what may be obsolete to you, is someone else's upgrade.
