About us

Through our pioneering solutions we’re helping businesses to consume technology more sustainably, and improve their environmental impact.

WHO WE ARE

Better for business. Better for the planet.

In 1997 we broke the mould when it came to IT procurement, management, and disposal. We saw the need for businesses to get more out of their IT, and to do it sustainably. And for over 20 years, we’ve helped businesses to embrace the circular economy model and have saved millions of devices going to landfill and tons of carbon emissions.

We’re proud to manage millions of assets and thousands of clients in countries across the globe. Which all means you can trust that we’re not only true experts at what we do, but that we’re also the ultimate safe, trusted pair of hands when it comes to the acquisition, management, and refresh of your IT devices.

OUR VISION AND MISSION

Making our difference

We’re investing, working hard, and continuously innovating our proposition and how we support our customers, to make sure that we’re the number one Technology Lifecycle Management service provider.

We know how complex acquiring and managing IT assets can be. Not to mention the headaches that come with the asset disposal process. And that’s before we even consider the impact all this has on the environment. Which is why we’re on a mission to enable businesses to reduce their Total Cost of Ownership, streamline their IT operations, and meet their own sustainability goals.

In their own words

Happy customers

I experienced a positive interest in our business and that 3stepIT would listen to our needs. During the implementation period, I also experienced that they kept us informed which made me feel safe during the process.

Claus Johansen
HR Manager at Jutlander Bank

In the long run, ownership entails hidden costs such as administration and maintenance. A financing solution makes it easy for us to budget the cost. Lifecycle management gives us the right tools to finally be able to take on the growing digitalisation.
