The Customer
Restore Technology and Restore Harrow Green assisted UBS to carry out a project to supply more than 500 computers and monitors to the Bridge Academy in Hackney. Both Restore Technology and Restore Harrow Green provided their services free of charge to support this fantastic initiative.
The project
As part of their London campus office move programme, global financial services firm UBS donated the used PCs, along with screens, mice and keyboards, to the Academy. Restore Technology undertook a full inventory, removed all UBS asset tags and ensured that all the data-wiping certification was in order.
They made sure that no data-carrying devices left the premises unless the drives had been securely wiped or destroyed following the bank’s policy on data transportation and storage. Restore Technology then cleaned, checked and packed the items, to ensure efficient re-commissioning at the Academy. To complete the project, Restore Harrow Green carried out the secure transport and delivery of the items.
Restore Technology and Restore Harrow Green dealt with the challenge of coordinating this project along with UBS’ office move. They worked together to ensure a smooth process for the decommissioning of the equipment, careful packing and transit, and delivery at a time convenient for the Academy. They then recommissioned the equipment so it was ready for use as part of the Academy’s teaching programme.
Restore Technology are UBS’ designated partner for disposal and reuse of IT equipment, including desktop PCs, laptops, servers and other network equipment. They and Restore Harrow Green have been working with UBS for more than ten years.
UBS has an ongoing partnership with Bridge Academy partnership based on a shared ambition to build a continuous programme that gives students, staff and UBS employees superb opportunities to work and learn together, and have a positive impact on student achievement, attainment and personal development. UBS support the school through a combination of volunteer time and financial resource.
