Integrated Mobile Launches Secure Mobile Device Recycling

Integrated Mobile, the leader in managed mobility solutions for enterprises, recently announced the launch of a free recycling program for its clients' end-of-life mobile devices. The eco-friendly recycling program further enhances Integrated Mobile's end-to-end life cycle management offering for enterprises at no cost to its clients. The new program addresses two key concerns for enterprises managing the rapid growth of mobile devices: ensuring end-of-life devices are wiped clean of company data and disposed of in a secure and eco-friendly manner. Integrated Mobile has partnered with ReCellular Inc. to provide this service to its clients.

"This new offering is a natural extension of our end-to-end life cycle management services and is something our clients so far have been very excited about," said Bruce Smith, Chief Operating and Financial Officer. "With the surge of wireless devices in use in the enterprise, secure and safe disposal of old devices has become increasingly burdensome for enterprises. Moreover, enterprises today are progressively more concerned about the environment and working with "Green IT" vendors. We're delighted to be able to offer our enterprise clients this important new service."

"In addition to offering environmentally safe recycling of mobile phones, ReCellular also provides security by protecting confidential corporate information that could be used for identity theft," said Suman Dutta VP, Enterprise Services for ReCellular. "The issue of information security has grown exponentially with the increased use of multi-function smart phones that store e-mail messages, contact information, and calendar entries, with the average smart phone capable of storing thousands of documents containing confidential information. To protect this cache of corporate information, ReCellular Enterprise offers clients a proprietary 73 point data-deletion process that securely scrubs all data from wireless handsets, including removable memory-storage cards."

Smith continued, "One of the main reasons we chose ReCellular was for their strong data-deletion capabilities. Our enterprise customers can take comfort in the fact that ReCellular's processes really do clean all data from mobile devices. ReCellular explained to us that it is not at all uncommon for them to find data on devices during their deletion process that were supposedly already cleaned of data."

According to a study completed by IDC (1), a leading industry research firm, 80% of executives say that Green IT is growing in importance for their organization, and 43% say they consider a vendor's "greenness" when selecting their suppliers. Moreover, 81% of respondents identify green products' ability to reduce operating costs as the most important reason for considering a supplier's greenness.

ReCellular's environmental initiatives are verified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001:2004 certification, a voluntary standard that facilitates improved environmental business management. In November 2006, ReCellular was recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of nation's leading green companies. ReCellular was noted for the company's tireless commitment to environmental integrity and for its innovative business strategy. In 2006, ReCellular also received the "Green Power Leadership Club" award from the EPA to recognize the significant green power purchase that ReCellular commits to on an annual basis.
