Services
With a focus on consistent support & service delivery, we help our clients develop successful long-term strategies to make wise investment decisions. A fully integrated data center real estate team offers clients complete IT infrastructure support from a single provider.
Site Selection
Our process is customized to each client’s project approval process, and the real estate and technical requirement itself. We work collaboratively from the outset to fully assess and understand the assignment and use a proprietary scorecard and TCO model to rank and order the geographies, facilities, and operators themselves.
Market Intelligence
Our approach to market intelligence is grounded in our specialist brokers, on the ground, doing the work. Members of our team provide the foundation of data which is then analyzed by a dedication research analyst.
Transaction Management
Successful transaction management is rooted in a concise and measurable process. From the first stage of developing the full requirement to the final stage of lease and SLA execution, we maintain customized reporting standards and decision support tools ensuring seamless transitions through the entirety of the deal life cycle.
Project Management
The project management wing of our group helps ensure cost effective execution of capital plans for the construction and occupancy of data centers. We add value through a consistent and professional approach.
Incentives
Tax exposure is the least understood TCO component of data center deployments. We bring a team of experts to the project early in the process to help guide site selection.
