NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction
technologies, announced today 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,” said NCR Chairman and CEO Bill
Nuti. “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,” said Governor 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.”
“Technology is a critical sector for our local economy and we are
honored to have NCR locate its global headquarters in Atlanta,” said
Mayor Kasim Reed. “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 timeframe.
