How can I keep thousands of devices secure, up-to-date, and ready to go?
Each new hire or device refresh adds complexity to IT’s workload — imaging, setup, ticket resolution, and secure disposal all demand time and resources.
SHI’s HLM services streamline this process by delivering fully configured, asset-tagged AI PCs, laptops, desktops, and smartphones directly to your users — ready to work from day one.
Our End User Integration Center ensures consistent setup and deployment, while end-of-life services include secure collection, NIST-compliant data sanitization, and responsible recycling or redeployment. The result? Enhanced security, reduced IT burden, and maximized ROI.
How can I rapidly deploy and support hardware across remote sites?
Managing distributed IT environments is demanding — especially when remote offices, field sites, or one-off projects require hands-on support. Deploying your internal team pulls focus from strategic initiatives.
SHI’s nationwide field services deliver fast, reliable on-site support for break/fix, IMAC (Install, Move, Add, Change), warranty management, upgrades, and hardware replacement.
Acting as an extension of your IT team, our certified technicians ensure consistent service, reduced downtime, and longer asset life — so your team can stay focused on driving business outcomes.
How do I retire aging hardware without risking data or sustainability goals?
Outdated hardware shouldn’t compromise your data security, compliance posture, or environmental commitments.
SHI’s IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services provide secure, sustainable end-of-life management for data center, networking, and end-user devices. From on-site pickup and serialized tracking to NIST 800-88-compliant data wiping, refurbishment, resale, or recycling — we tailor the process to your goals.
With R2v3 certification and full chain-of-custody documentation, SHI ensures regulatory compliance, protects sensitive data, and helps you recover maximum value from retired assets.
