Mico proud to announce collaboration in Itad Pilot project with MTN, GIZ

Mico is proud to announce the collaboration in the itad Pilot project with MTN and GIZ (Deutsche Internationale Zusammenarbeit - the international development co-operation organisation working on behalf of the German ministry of economic co-operation and development or BMZ). Once again, Mico is leading the way in the development and evolution of the South African itad landscape.

With the imminent gazetting of the POPI Bill, the time has arrived for South African businesses to prioritise the requirements and risks of data safety.

Data safety is not the only consideration for IT decision-makers when deciding what to do with their old PCs. The fees for our services are often insignificant against the value that can be gained from refurbishing and re-using an old PC. In other words, at the end of the value equation, Mico has taken care of the business risk associated with itad, and its customer gets to invoice Mico after the work has been performed.

Mico started in 1997, and today it is proud to be the leading IT asset disposal company in South Africa.

It offers itad solutions with minimum fuss, maximum accuracy and the safety of process and audit controls.

It promises to take the headache out of your itad problem. If you choose Mico to handle your retired assets, it will maximise your return, minimise your risk and recycle responsibly on your behalf.

Mico has refurbished, re-used and re-cycled IT assets for many of South Africa's most well-known companies and institutions. Its list of clients includes corporations such as ABSA, BAT, Old Mutual, Rand Merchant Bank, Sanlam, Investec, Ernst and Young, PWC, among notable others; and educational institutions such as CPUT, Stellenbosch University and UWC. Mico refurbishes the computers of the National Prosecuting Authority and government departments and municipalities.

Mico is contracted to Dell Financial Services to refurbish and recycle their end of lease computer equipment. And it has performed this function for 10 years.

Mico is a Microsoft Authorised Refurbisher (MAR), the only MAR in the Africa and Middle East region. All its refurbished and re-used computers are re-installed with genuine Microsoft Refurbished Software.

Mico is the itad division of the DC group of companies. The DC group consists of three divisions: DC Import and Export, Universe Direct and Mico.

Mico encourages you to do the right thing by handing your itad responsibility to the recognised expert. Call Mico for a free consultation or e-mail itad@universe-direct.co.za.
