Gail Chiasson, North American Editor
NCR Corporation, consumer transaction technologies company, announced Wednesday (Jan. 14. 2015) that it has entered into an agreement to build a new world headquarters campus in midtown Atlanta.
NCR also plans to maintain a significant presence at a second campus in the northern suburbs. These locations will enable the company to continue to attract talent from the entire metro Atlanta area to support its hardware-enabled, software-driven business.
The new campus will be located at Centergy North at Technology Square on Spring Street, and will provide NCR with a state-of-the-art presence close to Atlanta’s rich innovation centers and leading academic institutions. In addition to helping the company consolidate a number of disparate facilities into unified and contemporary work environments, improved access to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport will make it easier for financial services, retail and hospitality customers from all over the world to visit Atlanta and experience NCR’s innovative technology solutions first hand.
“Creating a state-of-the-art campus in midtown Atlanta near Georgia Tech marks an important step in NCR’s reinvention as an exciting and important, global technology company,” says Bill Nuti, NCR chairman and CEO. “You can count on your hand the number of successful technology company reinventions that have been executed over the last hundred years – and NCR is amongst them. NCR runs global commerce and we make the everyday easier as consumers connect, interact and transact with business. We are extremely proud of the important innovations we create and the valuable work done on behalf of our customers around the world right here in metro Atlanta.”
“Georgia has proven to be the top choice for leading companies to locate their headquarters,” says Governor Nathan Deal. “NCR chose Georgia a few years ago, and we are thrilled that this global leader will now expand its presence in our state. Our No. 1 business climate, which includes a skilled workforce, a solid network of companies, access to innovative R&D and a critical mass of fiber accessibility and total bandwidth, creates the ideal environment for Fortune 500 companies such as NCR to grow and remain competitive.”
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, says, “Technology is a critical sector for our local economy and we are honored to have NCR locate its global headquarters in Atlanta. Every day, businesses are voting with their feet and choosing the City of Atlanta as the place to bring their dreams and build their businesses. The best companies in the world are building their brands here, strengthening our economy and confirming Atlanta’s place as a leading city for business.”
The new campus in midtown Atlanta will be ready late in 2017 or early in 2018. While a location for the campus in the northern suburbs is yet been finalized, it is expected to open during a similar time frame.
NCR is headquartered in Duluth, Georgia with approximately 29,000 employees and does business in 180 countries.
