MADISON, Wis. - Jan. 27, 2016 - PRLog -- Cascade announced this week that it has been awarded a 36-month group purchasing agreement with Premier, Inc. to offer services to Premier members for the secure and environmentally responsible disposition of their IT assets for reuse and recycling.

Effective January 1, 2016, the new agreement allows alliance members, at their discretion, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier. Cascade is the only contractor providing Technology Asset Disposition services through the Premier program.
