Atlanta, Jan. 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apto Solutions, a global leader in Information Technology Asset Disposition (ITAD) and Lifecycle Asset Management Solutions, has been positioned as a "Visionary" in Gartner's December 2013 Global ITAD Magic Quadrant. The recently published ITAD Magic Quadrant has shifted from a North American to a Global focus, due to an increasing demand from multi-national companies requiring high quality, coordinated global solutions.
Gartner states: "This Magic Quadrant examines ITAD providers with Global service capabilities that Gartner believes have the approximate size, capabilities, certifications, and delivered track record to justify consideration for our clients' shortlists (assuming they meet the clients' individual requirements)."
Gartner Analyst Rob Schafer uses the following criteria in identifying companies for the 2013 Global ITAD Magic Quadrant:
- Demonstrated ITAD product and service revenue from clients in at least three of the four major regions: North America, South America, EMEA, and Asia/Pacific
- A minimum of $30 million in current revenue from direct sales of ITAD product and services
- A minimum of 20% of ITAD revenue generated from international business-- that is, from outside the vendor's home country
- Offerings in each major category of disposition, acquisition, and ancillary services.
- A robust ability to dispose of multiple asset classes, such as PC's, servers, storage devices, mobile devices, and networking and telecommunications assets.
- Industry certifications in environmental recycling and data security.
