A “Global High Tech” company made the decision to relocate their 400,000 square foot Data Center on West St. in Manhattan to Orangeburg NY. Their lease at West Street  required them to dismantle and remove almost all of the infrastructure that supported the old data center.  The company received recommendations from several different sources to engage Quantum Technology to execute the decommission, and monetize the assets.  Quantum ran a 30 – 40 man crew for 16 weeks.  At the end of the operation, the company received substantial revenue and was extremely satisfied with the work.
