The Challenges of Sustainable IT and How to Solve Them

Corporate sustainability commitments are colliding with an IT environment that changes fast. It consumes more power, generates more waste, and turns over hardware faster than it did five years ago.  We live in an age where equipment has never been more power-hungry. Much of that growth is owed to the rise of AI integrations. Global […]

How to Plan and Execute a Data Center Shutdown Safely

Taking a live data center offline introduces risk before any maintenance or infrastructure work begins. Once systems start going offline, the margin for error narrows and the ability to recover depends on decisions made before shutdown. An overlooked dependency can extend an outage beyond its intended scope. An unvalidated recovery plan can leave critical systems […]

Growing Together with Aurora: From Pilot Programs to 150+ SLAs Monitored Every Day

When we introduced Aurora earlier this year, we focused on what she could do. Since then, the most valuable work has gone into depth, defining the service level targets for each program so Aurora measures every customer by the standards that program is actually held to.  Three things have changed since launch. Aurora knows each program in far more detail, she runs […]

Extending Coverage: Platform Updates Across the Reconext Network

A proven platform is worth more the further it reaches.

How to Make Your IT Asset Tracking System Audit-Ready

Having an IT asset inventory is a good start, but it does not guarantee audit readiness. Many organizations can produce a list of devices, yet struggle to prove that those records accurately reflect their current IT stack.  During an audit, reviewers need evidence that assets exist, ownership information is correct, custody changes are documented, and […]

Automated Device Initialization: Removing the Prep Bottleneck in Mobile Refurbishment

  Innovation at Reconext begins with observation. The steps that draw the least attention often hold the largest gains, and preparing returned devices for testing is a clear example.  Every returned device has to be charged, erased, and brought up to current software before testing can begin. Done one at a time, that work sets the pace for everything behind […]

6 Best Practices for Enterprise Reverse Logistics

Reverse logistics programs are usually scoped as transportation. But the exposure sits in everything transportation doesn’t cover: custody records, data still resident on drives, and reconciliation across sites and regions. That gap widens during a refresh, a site relocation, or any infrastructure change that retires hardware faster than an asset register can absorb it. Closing […]

Built for Boring: How Verifone and Reconext Turned a Complex Supply Chain Into a Predictable One

  Brett Pagenkopp has a simple test for whether the day went well.  “Operationally, a great day is boring,” says the Senior Vice President of Operational Services at Verifone. “It means that we have had no issues, we’re fulfilling customer demand, we are meeting our efficiency output, all with 100% quality.”  That bar is harder […]

How to Implement an IT Asset Management Audit Program

Even organizations with well-defined IT asset management processes can still struggle with inaccurate asset records, policy gaps, and inconsistent controls. Without a structured audit process, these issues often remain undetected until an audit uncovers them. These gaps matter most when enterprise hardware approaches retirement. At that point every device has to answer four questions. Is […]

Data Center Relocation Checklist: Preparing Enterprise IT Hardware for a Successful Move

A data center move puts every piece of hardware you own on the table at once. Some of it travels to the new site and goes back into production. Some of it gets refurbished and redeployed. The rest reaches the end of its useful life and needs to leave your custody in a way you […]

From Micro Plastics to Major Impact: How Reconext is Reducing Plastic Waste in Our Packaging

When a process repeats across thousands of units, even a small material change can create a meaningful sustainability benefit. At the Reconext Bydgoszcz repair center, our team introduced a new terminal packaging design that removes plastic bags and bubble wrapfrom the outbound shipment process.  Previously, each repaired terminal was wrapped in a plastic bag, then […]

The 5 Key Phases of Global Data Center Decommissioning

  Global data center decommissioning involves retiring, consolidating, or relocating data center infrastructure across regions. Since these projects span facilities, stakeholders, and regulatory environments, they require a structured approach to minimize risk and disruption. A phased decommissioning process helps maintain operational continuity while ensuring sensitive data is securely destroyed and retired assets are properly handled. […]
