Harmonix strives to help you maximize the life of your existing IT equipment and offers options from redeployment to disposition of the equipment. The life span of a computer and options is usually dictated by how it’s being utilized. If you find that your current computer equipment no longer meets your needs, Harmonix has several technology disposition options.

Redeployment

If there are other departments within your own organization that could use the equipment, Harmonix Technologies can pickup, clean and test the equipment prior to it being redeployed. If you need the equipment imaged or upgraded, we can do that as well in our state of the art configuration center.

Brokerage

You can offer employees the option to purchase the old computer equipment. Based on the guidelines set forth by the customer, Harmonix IT Solutions will resell desktops, laptops, and monitors to the employees at a flat fee.

Harmonix can also broker your equipment. We work with various resellers around the US to obtain the highest possible offer for our customers. All equipment is sold ASIS Where IS, which relieves the customer of any warranty liability after it’s sold.

Donations

If you prefer, you can donate the equipment to Schools, or Non Profit Organizations. Harmonix will run each item through our Asset Management process to secure erase drives, record serial numbers and show transfer of ownership. Harmonix will clean, test, and package the equipment slated by for Donation if required by the customer. The equipment will then be invoiced at zero dollars along with the serial numbers to show transfer of ownership.

Proper Disposal

Most state & local agencies require companies to follow certain guidelines when disposing of computer equipment. Equipment with no market value, stripped, or defective, will be processed through our Asset Management System. Secure erase will be performed on those systems that are operational. Once equipment is processed, it will be sent to an EPA disposal company to be destroyed. All serialized items are invoiced to show transfer of ownership, and certificates are obtained and kept on file at Harmonix IT Solutions.

At Harmonix, we know that the solution isn’t to “rip and replace” your existing legacy systems. Instead, we work with you to identify the strengths of your application portfolio and infuse it with new technologies where they can help unlock your applications’ true business value. We look for ways to detach your applications from the propriety platforms they’re currently tied to and transform them to operate in a more open standards-based environment. This approach can enable you to align your application portfolio more closely to today’s business priorities, while giving you the responsiveness you need to later realign your applications as business priorities change.

Transforming your legacy applications to operate in this open standards-based way also helps you share business and customer data across your enterprise more quickly and easily. And think of the benefits of being able to more easily; more fluidly connect with customers and partners. Imagine the flexibility of being able to redesign business processes on the fly, adding new functions and capabilities as your business needs change or new business opportunities arise. Harmonix Technologies’ Legacy Transformation Services can help you do these things and more.

With the aging, inflexible and costly systems that support operations in these industries, adapting to a more flexible, responsive business model has been a challenge for most companies. Product strategies, customer centricity and distribution and services objectives have often been impeded by core systems developed and deployed at an earlier time. And at a time of increased competition in these industries, companies cannot afford to have technology concerns holding them back.

Legacy transformation has allowed high performance companies to refocus their activities from maintaining older systems tied to a single line of business to enabling business processes that span the enterprise. This refocusing has enabled these companies to break out of a mindset based on traditional business silos and view their businesses from the point of view of their customers. This new perspective has helped companies develop innovative new products and services for their customers, with increased communication and cooperation between lines of business helping them bring these products to market more quickly than ever before.

Begin with the End in Mind

As a networking leader, we make it our business to add new value at every level in your organization while supporting the applications that run your business.

We look to see what legacy equipment can be reused and migrated forward and where we will need to design in new elements to support the new services. Upon completion of the project we work diligently with our client to develop a maintenance and on-going upgrade migration path that meets the long-term objectives of the enterprise.
