When IT assets reach the end of their working life for your organisation, it doesn’t have to mean disposal. Our ReviveIT process offers organisations a high security service to data wipe, refurbish and remarket used IT assets, returning residual value to our clients.
Trade in your old devices to reduce the cost of new Apple devices by up to 30%. Utilising Academia’s Revive IT Service you are able to unlock the residual value of your old Apple devices to reduce the cost of their replacement. For any working device manufactured from 2008 onwards we can offer a credit toward the purchase of new Apple devices.
As the IT asset disposition (ITAD) division within a successful reseller, we are in a unique position to provide a complete IT lifecycle management solution for our customers, supporting a device from its procurement through to the end of its useful life. Our lifecycle management approach to your IT estate allows you to maximise your budget, by utilising the residual value of your current estate to reduce the cost of your new purchases.

We are accredited to ISO 9001, 14001 and 27001
We specialise in legislative compliance with data safety at the heart of everything we do. We adopt a no compromise approach, providing data erasure or destruction for all data bearing assets.
You will receive transfer of ownership documents, data wiping certificates and a full inventory report for all data bearing assets processed through our service.
Through refurbishing and re-marketing your assets we generate industry leading returns through the resale of your data wiped assets. Financial returns can then be used to credit new purchases through Academia.
We provide a single solution for IT refresh projects, covering procurement, configuration, installation and disposal of legecy assets
Promoting re-use over recycling reduces the lifetime carbon footprint of your assets. You are also reducing the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new equipment.
Service Summary
Our Lifecycle Management service is designed to maximise the productivity and financial value of your IT assets, offering a regular and affordable technology refresh process which brings with it a range of cost savings for your organisation.
With budgets across the sector under pressure, many organisations consider the delay in a technology refresh program to be a cost saving, looking for an extra year out of older technology, but is this the case? There are many hidden costs that need to be considered with this approach:
How It Works
Benefits of our Lifecycle Management Approach
Protecting your organisation’s data from a breach is a key consideration for any asset disposal.
As a business accredited to ISO 270001:2013, our robust Information Security Management System provides complete duty of care from the collection of your used assets through to data destruction and certification.
All devices are processed utilising CESG approved data erasure software or where this fails, physical hard drive destruction. We ensure all data bearing assets are made safe and provide you with a full audit trail for every asset.
Once devices are data free, our qualified team will deep clean and refurbish working devices, preparing them for resale.
Using our international partner network, we achieve best value for a wide range of IT assets and after costs we return the residual value to our customers.Those items that are too old or in poor condition are treated as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and collected by our AATF partner for full recycling, allowing us to maintain a zero landfill policy.
Our Process
We operate a zero landfill policy with around 85% of all collected items refurbished and remarketed. Those items that cannot be refurbished are broken down into component parts and recycled by AAFT partners.
Upon collection of any goods you will receive a detailed inventory of all equipment collected including asset transfer documentation. Once all goods have been processed a detailed audit report and data destruction certificates will be issued providing a complete audit trail.
This is dependent on many factors including the specification of the device and its working and physical condition. Typically Apple devices return the highest value with up to 35% of the original purchase price returned to customers.
From the collection of goods to receipt of your audit report documentation and financial return the process takes between 2-4 weeks.
“University for the Creative Arts (UCA) started to utilise Academia’s ReviveIT service approximately 2 years ago as part of our replacement desktop programme, which typically takes place each summer. One of the main benefits for UCA was Academia’s ability to deliver our new computers to desk, whilst at the same time taking away the packaging and old/retired computers. This value added service has been crucial at a time when internal resources are stretched.
Other benefits of the service include a full inventory of our assets, certificates for data erasure/destruction and better residual valuations than some alternative WEEE disposal companies. To conclude, we are very happy with Academia’s ReviveIT service and would recommend them to others.”
