This year, working with Keysource HR manager Rosalind Owens, I was asked to review our company values. This was a first for me and to be honest it’s not really in my skill set. Creating a set of values seemed to fall squarely into the unknown waters of ‘fluffy emotional marketing’ rather than my comfort zone of fact-based evaluation and solution delivery.

Having a detailed pre-construction phase undertaken before starting the design and build or upgrade of a data centre facility has a number of major benefits, however many organisations choose to sidestep this part of the process. In my experience this is a false economy that can often result in, at best, a lack of consistency of supplier responses and a loss of control by the client; and at worst significant additional costs and a major impact to project delivery, especially within live environments.

Keysource, the data centre design and build specialist, has been announced as a winner in the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2020. The company was granted its fifth gold medal award after being commended for its high standards towards health and safety performance.

Survey of over 100 senior UK IT professionals reveals an opportunity to increase transparency and confidence in the data centre industry through clearer standards.
