Office Consolidation and Future State Design Result in New Hybrid Workplace

A collaborative & cost-effective "Office of the Future" fit for a hybrid workforce.

From there, our team used our vetted IT Asset Disposition Program (ITAD) to develop a plan for repurposing their technology.

The Results

Align’s consolidation program reduced the office footprint from 25,000 sq. ft. ($75/sq. ft.) down to 7,000 sq. ft., saving them roughly $123,000 per month in rent. The program also saved the client $50,000 per month in IT spend, reduced the number of IT support roles on-staff, uncovered and eliminated reoccurring circuit charges and other miscellaneous monthly spend.
