Burr Computer Environments, INC (BCEI), and DataScope have announced the signing of a global enterprise agreement that will see DataScope’s full software suite deployed across all BCEI data center projects worldwide – including those designed alongside leading provider, EdgeConneX.
The strategic partnership reinforces both BCEI and DataScope’s commitments to delivering high-performance data centers efficiently – without compromising on safety, quality or operational excellence.
The enterprise agreement builds on a strong and proven partnership between DataScope and BCEI that began in September 2020, with the development of the DataTouch daily site co-ordination system in Santiago, Chile.
Since then, the relationship has expanded across a number of date center campuses globally, including Brussels, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Frankfurt, Chicago, Atlanta, New Albany and Austin.
Over this period, DataScope has provided BCEI with real-time visibility of labour allocation, site attendance and competency tracking, greater control and auditing of high-risk activities and improved collaboration and communication.
Furthermore, BCEI has been able to digitally manage all critical health and safety processes, such as permits, safety communications, RAMS and safety observations.
In fact, with safety remaining central to BCEI’s operating model, implementing DataScope’s software has leveraged real-time safety metrics to support proactive risk mitigation across all their projects.
As a result of the enterprise partnership, BCEI will unlock greater economies of scale, consistent global reporting and enhanced control over its expanding data center portfolio, while continuing to drive productivity gains and uphold the highest safety standards.
Jason Crowell, Environmental, Health & Safety Director at BCEI, highlighted the importance of the agreement in maintaining stability while scaling efficiently. He said:
“Data center delivery is evolving rapidly, and our clients demand both predictability and absolute reliability. This global agreement ensures we have the digital backbone to scale efficiently while maintaining the highest safety standards across every region we operate in.”
Joe Desormeaux, VP of Mission Critical at DataScope, revealed the agreement reflected both organisations’ determination to deliver the pinnacle in safety and operational control. He said:
“This enterprise agreement marks a significant milestone in our journey with BCEI.
“What began in 2020 with the successful deployment of DataTouch in Santiago has grown into a truly global partnership spanning multiple continents and some of the most complex data center projects in the world.
“We are incredibly proud of what has been achieved together to date; from establishing robust workforce management and digital permit controls to creating best-in-class daily coordination processes.
“We look forward to the next phase of this partnership and to supporting BCEI’s continued growth across its global data center portfolio.”
