A confidential global internet hyperscale client engaged with Thermo Systems in 2015 to help them in the design and construction of datacenters on a global scale. Since then we scaled from 0 to 8 greenfield sites and 7 brownfield sites scaling our team to meet our client’s goals.
We used the power of scale and leverage to increase quality, reduce costs, left shift schedules and drove efficiency to deliver Automation & Information services globally to a hyperscale datacenter client.
