DAYTON — What will be left in Dayton after NCR Corp. moves its corporate headquarters to Duluth, Ga.?

Not much — a data center and sales and service staff, said Richard Maton, an NCR spokesman.

Maton said he didn’t know how many local employees those operations will require. But Bill Nuti, NCR chief executive, told the Atlanta Business Chronicle that less than 50 employees will be left in Dayton.

Nor did Maton know how many of NCR’s current 1,300 local employees will be offered transfers to the company’s new headquarters campus in Georgia. “We will determine that as we work through the transition,” Maton said.

The remaining employees will not be working at the company’s 1700 S. Patterson Blvd. offices, the building the company once referred to as its “world headquarters.”

“We will look to market that building,” Maton said.

He disagreed with local contentions that NCR leaders have not been open to overtures from Ohio and Dayton political and economic officials. Local officials have charged that the company rebuffed their attempts to keep the company in Dayton, particularly after Bill Nuti, NCR chief executive, moved executive offices to New York in 2007 and announced the move of NCR’ Worldwide Customer Services unit to Georgia last October.

“Our response is that we have actually met regularly with Dayton and Dayton officials,” Maton said.

He said NCR’s decision to move its headquarters to Georgia was based on a third-party analysis which took into account the locale’s available work force, government tax structure, benefits to employees, Atlanta’s large international airport, training opportunities, government incentives, international links and more.
