“ For a colocation provider, you’ ve often got a customer commitment with a date attached. If you slip by a week, that becomes a problem for contractual reasons and for your revenue.”
Brent Healy, Senior Director of Solution Engineering at Salesforce, one of Sitetracker’ s key technology partners, believes a complete view of the entire development process through to completion is vital.
“ The primary bottleneck isn’ t just on the jobsite,” he adds.“ It’ s the disconnect between planning, physical execution and commercialisation where schedules slip and cost overruns originate.”
From quantitative to qualitative For James Hebblethwaite, Managing Director for Software and Platforms at consulting firm Accenture, the pace of change demands a different mindset when it comes to developing data centres.“ Stop measuring success by project completion and start measuring success by time-to-capacity,” he asserts.
“ The AI infrastructure market is shifting from a focus on delivering facilities to delivering operational AI capability. Every planning, procurement, construction, commissioning and operational decision should be evaluated against a single question: will this accelerate or delay the point at which usable compute capacity becomes available?”
“ Organisations that manage delivery as an integrated system, with common governance, shared data, coordinated supply chains, and visibility across the lifecycle, will bring capacity online faster than those continuing to optimise individual workstreams independently.”
