F E A T U R E project information is easily accessible in one place, so teams have access to self-serve insights and end-toend project visibility, streamlining collaboration. Projects are more efficient and delivered in half the time( 49 % faster).
Unifying comprehensive financial, enterprise and operational data within a single pane of glass doesn’ t just speed up design and construction. Creating new fit-for-purpose facilities also pays dividends after handover, where owners and operators benefit from up-to-date information and can manage costs and energy use while engineering firms gain recurring revenue from real-time maintenance.
Paired with modular design, data centre operators can scale capacity in response to demand fluctuations and AI workload surges – even as the business grows. With unified operations, agility becomes the norm.
The cost of legacy construction
• Average deployment time: 18 – 36 months
• Capex waste due to rework and misalignment: up to 30 %
• Lost opportunity cost from delayed go-lives: millions in unrealised revenue per month
• Carbon impact: legacy power and cooling systems consume 40 % more energy than digital-first equivalents
