Strength in Diversity: Mix and Match new and refurbished IT Equipment

In the world of technology, the temptation to have the latest and most advanced devices is undeniable. However, at InnoVent we challenge this belief and encourage businesses to take a more sustainable and financially responsible approach when adopting technology.

We emphasize the importance of evaluating whether every end-user in your corporation truly requires the latest technology and how the strategic blend of new and 2nd Life IT equipment can be a game-changer in achieving the perfect balance.

The Quest for the "Right Tech"

Is having the absolute latest technology always a necessity? Through our experience, we've realized that achieving the best use of technology often means identifying the ideal match for every end-user.

This approach involves understanding the specific needs of each department in your business and providing the appropriate mix of cutting-edge technology and reliable, refurbished alternatives.

The Power of Diversity: New vs. 2nd Life IT

Our 2nd Life IT range of refurbished laptops stand as a testament to our commitment to providing high-quality technology at an affordable price. Refurbished to a “as good as new” standard, these devices offer a significant cost advantage for businesses potentially saving up to 50% of the cost compared to purchasing brand new devices. Aditionally, our 2nd Life IT devices are backed with full warranty support, providing you peace of mind for the entire duration of your subscription term.

The excellence of a product is not solely determined by how new it is. At InnoVent, we believe in the efficiency and reliability of our 2nd Life IT products. Every device undergoes an extensive and stringent refurbishment process to ensure optimal performance while presenting a brand-new aesthetic.

Diverse Options for Varied Needs

Our carefully curated selection of business-grade laptops includes models from Dell, HP, and Lenovo, catering to a wide range of user requirements. They all come as standard with 480 GB of SSD and 16 GB of Memory.

Making Sustainable Choices

Beyond the financial benefits, reusing technology is a step towards environmental sustainability. A new laptop not only consumes significant resources during production but also contributes to CO2 emissions. Moreover, these devices can end up in landfills after just four years of use. By providing devices a 2nd Life, we actively reduce unnecessary waste, preserve valuable resources, and offer affordable computing options to organisations.

Our model extends the useful life of corporate devices from 3-4 years to 7+ years through 3 different users: a First Corporate User enjoys the first 3 years of a brand new device followed by a Second Corporate User benefiting from the following 3 years of a refurbished device. Finally, a Third User, typically an end-user enjoys the remaining years of the device.

This model reduces each corporate user's carbon footprint by around 50% and offers substantial financial savings.

In conclusion, the concept of "new" doesn't always compare to "necessary" when it comes to technology. The ability to mix and match new and 2nd Life IT equipment allows organisations to align technology precisely with their end-user needs while effectively managing budgets.

At InnoVent, we're committed to helping your business strike the right balance and make informed, sustainable choices in the world of technology. Join us in embracing a future where technology is about efficiency, responsibility, and a step towards a better world.
