INSIGHT SYSTEMS EXCHANGE UNVEILS “GREEN” STATE-OF-THE-ART
TECH CENTER IN GARDEN GROVE, CALIFORNIA
ORANGE, Calif., Aug. 7, 2008 – Insight Systems Exchange (ISE), a division of Insight Investments Corp., today announced its “green” state-of-the-art, 44,000 square-foot Tech Center at 7012 Belgrave Ave. in Garden Grove, California is now operational. To commemorate this landmark occasion, ISE celebrated with an Open House that was attended by many local dignitaries and public officials.
Insight Investments established ISE as part of its full-service commitment to helping its commercial customers dispose of their used servers, desktops, laptops and displays as they came off lease. ISE recertifies the IT equipment to meet original manufacturers’ specifications and sells it at a significant discount to 2,000 public school districts and individual schools in 30 states. Unusable equipment is recycled and disposed in conformance with all national and international environmental regulations.
Because ISE only leases IT components from leading manufacturers, the off-lease equipment shipped to its Tech Center is already high quality and built to perform. Every component, wire and connection is inspected and tested by trained technicians. Defective parts are replaced with new or remanufactured ones. Everything is carefully cleaned both inside and out to look like new. And nothing is shipped until it meets all original manufacturer specifications.
Dale Beverly, teacher and technology coordinator at Foothill High School, Tustin, Calif., noted that when he received his first shipment from ISE, “the computers were well protected. As we pulled out each system and set them up, everything looked new. Most importantly, when we connected the computers to our school network, they ran like brand new.”
The Tech Center is also designed to be a “green” facility. ISE vice president Joe Prochelo noted that “the Tech Center was specifically retrofitted to reduce power and water consumption and to maintain healthy air quality. Our commitment to the environment also extends to disposing unusable equipment. We tear down the systems and sub-assemblies, extract metals for recycling into new products, and send all hazardous materials to special facilities where they’re destroyed in compliance with all national and international environmental regulations.”
ISE’s Tech Center also customizes computers to meet specific educational needs, whether it requires adding memory, larger hard drives, inserting special graphics cards or other special configurations.
“We take great pride in our recertified equipment,” Prochelo added. “When it leaves here it looks like new, works like new and carries a three-year warranty like new. It just doesn’t cost like new.”
Because ISE specializes in education, it’s uniquely set up to work with special needs of schools and districts. For example, equipment is normally stockpiled before the fall and spring semesters when districts most commonly order. If required, equipment can be shipped in stages to meet operational and/or budgetary needs. And, ISE’s credit department offers a variety of flexible purchase plans to make purchasing equipment as hassle-free as possible.
