ScalePad Enhances Environmental Compliance & Responsibility of MSPs with a restorative partnership agreement with veritree.
VANCOUVER, BC, Canada (March 21, 2023) — ScalePad, the premier provider of solutions for Managed Service Provider (MSP) partners, announces today a restorative partnership integrated with its Warranty Services and new IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) and Workstation Assurance offerings available through the ScalePad Services Marketplace. ITAD, Workstation Assurance, and Warranty Services standardize and automate what are otherwise manual tasks and varied processes, while also further enhancing client data security. Through these services, ScalePad will combat the harmful effects of electronic waste by restoring habitats in North America that were destroyed by wildfires, via a partnership with veritree.
The three revenue-generating services for MSPs included in ScalePad Services Marketplace include: Workstation Assurance, an advanced exchange replacement program to protect laptops and desktops even in the event of accidental damage; Warranty Services, a protection program with a choice of service levels to protect servers and networking equipment; and ITAD, a secure, verifiable, and environmentally-friendly disposition process for decommissioned client IT workstations.
For each asset protected or disposed of through the ScalePad Services Marketplace, ScalePad’s partner veritree, will plant a tree as part of an initiative to reforest and rewild US regions ravaged by wildfires.
“We see an opportunity with these services and the partnership with veritree for ScalePad to make a real environmental impact on behalf of our employees, partners and their clients,” said Dan Wensley, CEO of ScalePad. “With a commitment to plant 50,000 trees by the end of 2023, we are kick starting this program with our own investment of planting 5,000 trees this month, and Scalepad partners will be able to track their contribution directly within our Lifecycle Manager app.”
“By embedding restoration into ScalePad’s services, they are not only taking action to combat and prevent harm to our environment, but they are also making efforts to better our planet,” said Derrick Emsley, Co-Founder and CEO of veritree. “veritree’s mission is to make it simple for businesses to incorporate and scale restorative actions. We’re excited by our new partnership with ScalePad and their ambition to take meaningful action for the planet.”
ScalePad ITAD assures compliance with county or state regulations on the proper disposal and recycling of electronic waste. All assets disposed of through ITAD have data erased to NIST 800-88 standards, ensuring client data is unrecoverable. Once complete, a disposition certificate is issued, and a tree is planted. With ScalePad partners managing over 20 million IT infrastructure assets for 500,000 SMBs, and retiring over 100,000 workstations monthly, the business opportunity for MSPs and the potential environmental benefits are enormous.
“Electronic waste is a byproduct of millions of managed assets; the same e-waste that represents roughly 2% of America’s trash in landfills and two-thirds of overall toxic waste,” said Wensley. “Aside from being good for our planet, ITAD could help partners stand out from the competition as we anticipate green policies will continue to impact the MSP industry in the coming years.”
