Jones Lang LaSalle’s Data Center Division Furthers Its Commitment to Operational Efficiency and Sustainability with MarkITx
The brokerage and its clients can realize significant capital and operating cost savings through the use of MarkITx’s exchange for enterprise IT hardware
CHICAGO – November 20, 2013 - MarkITx, a transparent marketplace for buying and selling used IT equipment, announced today it has been selected by Jones Lang LaSalle, one of the nation’s largest real estate brokerage firms, to deliver cost efficiencies to its data center practice and help the firms’ clients derive more value from their IT investment.
The MarkITx exchange empowers Jones Lang LaSalle and its clients to offset the cost of new IT infrastructure by listing depreciated or obsolete equipment on the exchange and recouping the maximum value as determined by the real-time secondary IT market. As an active member of MarkITx, Jones Lang LaSalle has successfully traded its own IT equipment on the exchange and the Data Center team is already helping clients list their inventory to determine the current market value.
“Our strategic partnership with MarkITx has unlocked significant value for both Jones Lang LaSalle and the clients who trust us to optimize their data center investments,” said Matthew Carolan, Managing Director at Jones Lang LaSalle. “Data center infrastructure has become commoditized. Finding a more sustainable outlet for decommissioned IT equipment and understanding the optimal time to plan a technology refresh is a real asset to the bottom line.”
