"By utilizing ServerMonkey's remarketing and e-commerce tools, we're able to greatly expand our asset disposition focus by connecting with retail customers directly through ServerMonkey's website," said Kirk Wehby, Smith's Vice President of Operations. "ServerMonkey provides an easily accessible way for customers and businesses to purchase and submit products, which means that more e-waste will be disposed of properly rather than sent to landfills."
Scott Michael Flowers, CEO of ServerMonkey, sees the partnership as a mutually beneficial arrangement.
"ServerMonkey's goals are to provide customers with low cost, high quality IT equipment, and to recycle and safely dispose of as much e-waste as possible," Flowers said. "Smith is one of the most respected names in the electronics distribution market. Pairing Smith's expertise in business-to-business solutions with ServerMonkey's retail channel will, we're confident, be a partnership that will result in a greener, more environmentally conscious IT industry."
Smith and ServerMonkey offer a wide array of asset disposition services including refurbishing and remarketing of retired IT assets, secure data erasure services, and the destruction of equipment containing sensitive business information.
