Case Study: Leading Financial Firm achieves $2.22M in annual rent savings with Align's rapid, risk-free office-closure solution

Branch Office Closure Brings in Big Savings

Leading Financial Firm engaged Align to manage the planned closure of a large Seattle office, tapping Align’s Right-Size by Align offering and services such as project management, IT Asset Disposition (ITAD), on-site data center decommission, IMAC facilitation, third-party vendor oversight, and circuit/maintenance cancellations to ensure an organized, policy-compliant shutdown.

Align performed a full inventory and cross-department collaboration to redeploy, repurpose or securely destroy assets, cancel circuits and operational charges, and handle lease termination logistics. The project finished in under 30 days, delivered immediate annual rent savings of $2.22M, eliminated nearly $90K in monthly operating costs, and ensured 1,468 high-value assets were inventoried, redistributed or destroyed with zero risk, with additional savings from removed software licenses.
