2005-2007
- NYC to DC
- Expansion from 4,000 square feet to 8,000 square feet
- Scanning technology implementation
- On-site Hard Drive Destruction
- Salesforce.com implementation
2009-2010
- GSA Contract Schedule
- Expansion to 12,000 square feet

2017
- Sponsored a young woman in Moldova. Victoria, a 16-year-old who loves the color yellow, is at risk. In Moldova, the government institutional care of abandoned and orphaned children only lasts until they turn 16 years old. At that time, without support, they’d be on their own with nowhere to stay and no family. Read more about giving back and being of service here.

- Created and implemented the customer rebate program allowing for agencies and organizations to save more on ultra-secure data destruction and IT recycling
- Celebrating 19 years of business with cake – because what’s a birthday without cake?
We celebrated with a catered lunch and passed out six Beat Your Best awards. Beat Your Best is an incentive program where employees receive quarterly bonuses for achieving a predetermined goal.
To each of our customers, vendors, and supporters, we thank you for traveling this journey with us. Together, we’re confident in another 19 years of success (and another 19 after that).
Thank you.
