Datacenters.com Makes Enterprise Colocation Easy with New Project Platform

Englewood, CO, February 27, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Datacenters.com, the #1 technology platform for buyers and sellers of colocation services, cloud computing, and connectivity, announces the official launch of the Datacenters.com Project Platform which helps users configure their colocation requirements, create their RFP and distribute it directly to providers they invite to participate in the project.

The Datacenters.com Project Platform makes writing and distributing a colocation RFP simple for IT departments and company stakeholders to complete the RFP process.

Get rid of the hassle and streamline the RFP process in one easy-to-use platform.
Stop wasting time and pick the provider that delivers on your business priorities.

Datacenters.com Project Platform makes it easy for clients to create a colocation RFP with a fast 3-step process.

Colocation RFPs created in the Datacenters.com Project Platform are distributed directly to the colocation providers hand-selected by the client.

Both clients and providers can collaborate on their RFPs in the Project Platform including submitting and receiving proposals, asking and answering questions, submitting documents and revising and accepting finalized RFPs.

A concierge team is ready to make every project a great experience.

Colocation projects of any size and complexity can be created with ease.

For too long, writing and managing RFPs was cumbersome and disjointed. IT departments and project leaders struggled to find the right colocation providers, data center facilities and pricing for their businesses. It was an outdated and manual process that took a tremendous amount of time and effort. This resulted in unnecessary time spent on calls, emails, and questions from the providers.

The Datacenters.com Project Platform was created to address these challenges when writing and managing RFPs. Datacenters.com took into both client and provider feedback to create a platform that is unsurpassed in the industry.

Clients want a simple and intuitive platform that can help guide them in defining their colocation requirements, select the right providers and data center locations, and distribute the RFP directly to the providers they select. Providers want to participate in colocation RFPs that align with their company, products, services, and locations. They also want to engage directly with the client in real-time, manage their responses and easily upload their own branded RFP proposals and documents directly to the platform.

While the initial Datacenters.com Project Platform focuses on colocation services and providers, additional and complementary IT solutions like cloud computing and connectivity services are already in development. The vision for the Datacenters.com Project Platform is to be a single source for planning, provisioning and managing multi-vendor, global infrastructure solutions across colocation, cloud services, internet connectivity or wide area networks (WAN) solutions.
