Data center migration challenges: what really matters when systems move

Data center migrations are often presented as infrastructure projects. In practice, they are moments of exposure. They disrupt systems that may have been running quietly for years. They force long-standing assumptions into the open. They involve not just technology, but people, process, accountability, and trust. Most migration risks do not come from architecture decisions or […]

Managers from both sites also met earlier in the month for a White Elephant gift exchange breakfast. McAllen ran a Christmas party that included a gift raffle and an event video. […]

Data center migration: a complete guide to moving systems safely

Most teams don’t plan for the day they have to move a data center. Then a lease ends. Or power density hits a ceiling. Or growth quietly outpaces the facility that was supposed to support it. Suddenly, a normal quarter becomes a countdown. That’s the real beginning of a data center migration. Not when the […]

How our teams around the world marked the season in their own ways

Across our sites, November is a month filled with small traditions that bring people together. Some traditions are tied to heritage. Others are tied to gratitude. All of them give a glimpse into the culture that shapes the work behind the scenes.  In Mexico, teams in Mexicali and Mexico City gathered around a familiar pairing of hot chocolate and pan […]

Insights from the Circular Circuits outreach event in the Netherlands

The shift toward circular electronics is happening, but it is not happening evenly. Some companies are far along. Others are still figuring out where to start. The real progress tends to happen when both groups sit in the same room and compare what they are seeing in the field with what they are seeing in the lab.  This […]

Raising throughput on a high-volume automation line

On high volume electronics programs, the smoothness of an automation line has a direct impact on everything around it. If the line hesitates, operators feel it. If the flow backs up, quality teams feel it. Customers eventually feel it too. This is why our engineering teams pay close attention to the small details that make these lines run well.  […]

These small variations cause friction during onboarding, because each configuration needs its own procedure for safe and consistent data sanitization.  Over the past year, our storage engineering teams in Havant and Penang have […]

How an R&D team in Northern Europe is changing the way devices move through our network

There is a moment in every returns program where a device first meets a technician. The technician looks it over, checks its condition, notes damage, and decides what should happen next. That moment shapes everything that follows. The more consistent it is, the better the outcomes for the customer and the clearer the path for […]

How OCR is cleaning up a messy part of the returns process

At one of our high-volume laptop programs, a simple task was slowing everything down.  Every unit that arrived on site needed its serial number checked against a shipping pre alert. On paper, that is straightforward. In reality, it meant people leaning over boxes, reading tiny fonts, keying long alphanumeric strings into a system, and trying […]
