In an article titled, ‘From E-Waste to ESG: Why IT Asset Lifecycle Management is Now a Boardroom Priority,’ Xavier Surentherathas, Regional VP, Sales at Park Place Technologies, explores how IT Asset Lifecycle Management (ITALM) has evolved into a strategic framework for managing technology assets from procurement to secure disposal.

Beyond efficiency, ITALM now drives sustainability, compliance, and data security goals. With the global ITAD market expected to reach 26.6 billion USD by 2029, enterprises are prioritising ESG-aligned vendors offering responsible recycling, data sanitisation, and audit trails. As Xavier mentions in the article, enterprise infrastructures are becoming more complex and distributed, this means that disciplined asset management is no longer optional – it is strategic. ITALM brings structure, visibility, and control, elevating ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) from a back-office function to a boardroom conversation involving CIOs, CISOs, procurement leaders, and ESG heads.
