Streamline Your IT Asset Retirement

Proper decommissioning of IT assets is crucial when replacing hardware, migrating data to new environments, or archiving systems due to application retirement. Following a thorough decommissioning process ensures both financial closure and data security.

CTM's IT System Server Decommissioning Checklist provides a structured approach to effectively retire your IT assets. Completing this checklist will help you confirm that all necessary steps are taken, ensuring financial obligations are resolved and allowing you to fully capitalize on consolidation cost savings.

Key steps include:

• Decommissioning Strategy Alignment: Ensure your decommissioning plan aligns with organizational goals.
• Initiate Decommissioning: Begin the decommissioning process by confirming all details and thoroughly documenting the change.
• Shutdown System and Server: Safely power down systems to prevent data loss.
• Dependency Cleanup: Remove dependencies and integrations to avoid service disruptions.
• IT Asset Disposal: Properly dispose of hardware in compliance with corporate policies.
• Update Documentation: Ensure all records are current and reflect the decommissioned status.
• Site Disposition (Facility Retirement): Address any facility-related retirement tasks.

Utilizing this checklist not only enhances compliance but also mitigates risks associated with improper decommissioning. By systematically following these steps, your organization can protect sensitive data, reduce potential liabilities, and improve overall efficiency.
