Smart Fair Market Value

An objective third-party solution, IDC's Smart Fair Market Value service saves corporations time and money when establishing financial terms for used IT hardware acquisitions, end-of-lease purchases, liquidation of IT assets, or analysis related to fair market values. Given the state of the industry and the need to tightly manage costs, Smart Fair Market Value is an invaluable resource for accurate, objective pricing that ensures clients save money.

Corporations have demonstrated significant savings and increased confidence by using IDC's Smart Fair Market Value service. When organizations find themselves in situations that require the purchase of products (or extended financing) at the end of a lease, they are frequently forced to pay the often-inflated prices dictated by lessors and financiers. Smart Fair Market Value provides a mutually acceptable solution with accurate fair market values on almost any IT hardware asset. These values are based on the actual liquidity value and resale cost of the products in the market.
