Hello Colleagues,

A warm welcome to you and wishing you a smooth summer 2023.

Firstly on behalf of Compliance Standards and E-Scrap News, let me thank those of you who took our first ITAD Industry Performance Review and Outlook. This survey closed and we have conducted a Zoom presentation on June 29, 2023. For those who took the survey, you must have received links to access a written analysis, PowerPoint slides and a replay of the Zoom video presentation. If you have not received the links, please check your spambox or send me an email at: DDaoud@Compliance-Standards.com and I will make sure you will get the details.

For those who did not take the survey, I will summarize the findings in one single sentence: the first half of the year was an extraordinarily difficult period for the ITAD sector, but looking ahead, there is plenty of optimism not only among your peers, but we also share the same optimism, albeit we must remain cautious.

In the coming weeks, we plan to release the survey instrument for the second installment, and we sincerely hope we will have the opportunity to welcome those of you who have not participated last month for a broader participation. To be reminded of taking the next survey, please add your email address below.

Thank you for your attention and let’s connect soon.

Technology: How AI’s Breakneck Pace Is Outrunning Enterprise Strategy and Your IT Refresh Cycle

It took 12 days for Anthropic to release two major AI models back to back. And with each release, the capability bar moves up, software value gets questioned, and the hardware underneath it all turns over faster than your refresh cycle was ever designed to handle.  This episode is a straight-talk breakdown of what that pace means for enterprise IT strategy, ITAM programs, and ITAD operations. This is not AI hype, but an honest analysis on the very real decisions landing on your desk right now as a result of it.

SIMS and Iron Mountain Are Repricing the ITAD and Positioning it as a Primary Growth Engine

In this episode, David Daoud of Compliance Standards LLC examines how Sims Limited and Iron Mountain are repositioning IT asset disposition from an operational afterthought to a primary growth engine inside publicly traded platforms. Both companies recently reported approximately 70% year-over-year growth in their ITAD divisions. More importantly, they elevated Asset Lifecycle Management and Sims Lifecycle Services in their earnings narratives, capital allocation priorities, and forward guidance.
