Why be a hosted buyer?

Industry leaders explore the big challenges they face at DCD>Connect

  • The pressure we're under to build faster and bigger means my team is always on the lookout for new technology and partners to get us there. For the last year we’ve had to rely heavily on pre-lockdown relationships. We’re coming to diversify our partner ecosystem & strengthen existing relationships, because truthfully, only so much can be done on Zoom.

    Mark Flanagan, Group Managing Director, Kirby Group Engineering
  • We're constantly churning through white papers. Listening to webinars. Looking for case studies on how new technologies are being applied in data centers. But we need to meet vendors face-to-face because we've always got more questions. And it’s not just about understanding the nuances of the tech. It’s about building the trust too.
