The Solution
Align performed a current state assessment and IT inventory to understand their specific needs and audit their technology landscape. 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.
In the end, Align designed a modern, collaborative workplace and helped migrate them into their newoffice environment, all while ensuring there was zero downtime or risk to the business.
Success: the client now enjoys a secure, flexible “office of the future” for their hybrid workforce.
