Dell announced today that for the second consecutive year the company was positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Leaders" quadrant of the firm's Magic Quadrant for IT Asset Disposition, Worldwide.[1] Designed as a tool to help businesses select vendors that meet their specific requirements, the IT Asset Disposition Magic Quadrant is an important benchmark for vendors and customers alike.
