CONSULTING SERVICES
OWNER ADVOCATE
Unbiased, expert technical advice on any aspects of your mission critical / data center facility is needed by today’s businesses and organizations now more than ever. A single outage, whether caused by utility failure or thermal overload, can put hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars at risk. We have observed poorly thought-out projects spend tens of thousands of dollars to correct minor issues that could have been avoided with proper procedures. Because we sell no products we can serve conflict-free as the owner’s advocate.
Our role as owner’s advocate encompasses many of our traditional services, including:
- Architectural / Engineering Designs
- Equipment Procurement
- Project Planning & Scheduling
- Project Management
- System(s) Testing & Commissioning

- Assessing existing Data Center(s) to understand search criteria

Whether evaluating one or several buildings site(s), the careful and thorough consideration of the immediate location, amenities, utilities, access, entitlements, on-site and off-site conditions, and other important factors associated with the property.
ELO/TCO ANALYSIS(ES)
Think about your business and how long you expect to be using a particular system or solution. In the case of a core business solution, many companies look at a TCO for a period of four or five years. In the case of a core business system such as a facility, HVAC, UPS, or Generator System, a TCO period can be much longer in the ten to the twenty-year range.
TCO calculations usually include several categories and components, such as:
- Planning and selection period
- IT infrastructure requirements
- Application subscription or license costs
- Application design, configuration, and implementation
- Administration and maintenance
- Training costs
Many companies under-invest when it comes to thoroughly evaluating system/solution requirements and options. By doing a more careful assessment upfront you will save your company time, money, and aggravation down the road.
