Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN (April, 2017)—Maxxum Inc., an IT asset management and data destruction firm based in the Twin Cities, is celebrating 20 years in business. In conjunction with this milestone, Maxxum also announced its MAXXUMIZE Strategic Growth Initiative last week, incorporating a new organizational structure.

Celebrating 20 Years of Business

Founded originally as an IT equipment remarketing firm, clients began asking Maxxum for additional services including data destruction and disposition of end-of-life IT assets.  A new business was born that grew rapidly.  It is now Maxxum’s only business.

Over the last 20 years, Maxxum has been protecting the confidential information of healthcare providers, financial service firms, educational institutions, government agencies, non-profits and private sector businesses.  The company has grown to be one of the largest independently owned and operated risk mitigation and IT asset destruction companies.  Maxxum maintains a blue-chip client base that it serves in the Twin Cities metro area, around the state, regionally, nationally and internationally.

“Risk mitigation on behalf of our clients is the cornerstone of our business.  It guides all that we do as a company,” said Rich Woodward, Maxxum CEO.  “We believe that our extensive experience combined with our National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) AAA Certified® qualifications and local accessibility offers organizations a superior solution for secure, reliable, compliant and price-competitive risk mitigation services.”

The MAXXUMIZE Strategic Growth Initiative is designed to support profitable growth, greater operational efficiency, and improved collaboration across the enterprise.  “We will focus our actions to support our organic growth and the integration of our recent acquisition of Trace Technology Management, said Woodward.

“While this is a milestone event, Maxxum is still driven by an entrepreneurial spirit which has enabled us to constantly challenge ourselves and the way we do business,” Woodward added.  Our MAXXUMIZE Strategic Growth Initiative brings focus to these efforts and prepares us well for growth and the next evolution of the company.”
