Technology @ Work For You
Case study on refurbished technology
Using reconditioned products exemplifies the concept of product reuse, which reduces pollution and solid waste, and is an important component of the Government's mandate to increase and improve its use of environmentally preferable products and services. Interestingly, it is the environmental benefits of reconditioned equipment that provide agencies and contracting officers with the initial, compelling reasons for considering its acquisition.
Technology manufacturers are constantly making product improvements, but it doesn't mean that an admin department needs or is ready to utilize the improvements. Upgrades can be disruptive and costly; the reconditioned option allows agencies to maintain stability and leverage existing infrastructure investments until their business processes require, and budgets allow, an upgrade.

SHOULD YOU RENT A REFURBISHED COPIER?
The hefty rental prices on new copiers encourage many businesses to consider renting used copiers. Often, this can be a smart choice: properly refurbished copiers can be a dependable part of your office for years.Note that we say "properly refurbished copiers:" simply cleaning the outside and making sure it still works is not sufficient.
Before renting a used copier, ask the dealer about their refurbishing process. Used copiers should be thoroughly cleaned inside and out, have all worn parts replaced, and be inspected for any potential problems. Because of this extensive maintenance, refurbished photocopiers should come with a service contract for the duration of the rental contract. Talk the dealer up on this: don't settle for a 30-day warranty. Even a used business copier can cost thousands of Rands, so you should make sure your investment is protected.
Whether renting new or used copiers, it's best to take out a maintenance agreement that covers all the parts that typically wear out or break, including the belts and drum. When renting a used copier, the insurance is definitely worth the cost of the service coverage.
