S2S Group is partnered with a major retail and commercial bank to enhance its thin client management across the UK. The ongoing collaboration focuses on the collection, refurbishment, and redistribution of devices from branches and remote employees, ensuring both efficiency and data security.

S2S Group oversees the process by retrieving old thin clients and delivering new devices to the bank’s remote workers. After collection, the team transports the outdated devices to the bank’s headquarters for assessment. Depending on their condition, S2S Group will advise whether to refurbish for reuse or securely destroy them. Fostering a sustainable and secure technology lifecycle is a core strategic focus for S2S Group and their clients.

A key component of this operation is S2S Group’s custom-built Trakk-IT portal, which offers real-time asset tracking. This system lets the bank track every device during collection and redistribution. It offers a clear view of asset management and data security. The bank benefits from knowing the exact location and status of its equipment.

Since July 2024, S2S Group has successfully collected and redistributed over 220 thin clients in this ongoing project. Thin clients differ from traditional PCs as they lack a local hard drive and rely on a central server for applications, data, and memory. This server-based infrastructure makes thin clients a suitable choice for businesses aiming to optimise IT operations.

Paulina Pieprizyk, Logistics & Operations Manager at S2S Group said, “We’re proud to work with our client and provide a strategy that keeps their data and asset management risk-free. Our proprietary software Trakk-IT has been invaluable in keeping our work streamlined and transparent at all times. S2S Group is working very hard to meet our customer’s expectations and making sure we are dealing with deadlines on the highest level.”

A thin client is a lightweight computer that relies on a central server for most of its processing power, data storage, and applications. Unlike traditional PCs, which have their own hard drives and operating systems, thin clients access everything from a shared server. This allows them to run with minimal hardware and offers a more streamlined, efficient IT setup for businesses.

Thin clients connect to a server-based environment that handles most computing tasks. This reduces the need for individual maintenance which increases security by centralising sensitive data. Organisations with a large remote workforce will benefit, as they provide easy access to the server without heavy-duty equipment.

Through this partnership, S2S Group is supporting the bank’s efforts to modernise its IT infrastructure. This seamless process equips remote employees with up-to-date devices, while the organisation enjoys secure and sustainable asset management.

By focusing on thin client collection, refurbishment, and asset tracking, S2S Group is delivering secure and efficient IT solutions for organisations across the UK.
