SVP Head of Property Technical Operations & Data Centers
What our clients say
“We were a company who never considered a third-party data center operator for our IT needs. Our operation required specific and critical FM Global and ISO compliance measures be met and audited throughout the life of the data center, a factor we believed only we could perform internally. But with the T5 engagement, we were afforded the attention to detail and customized approach that helped us achieve our FM Global and ISO compliance goals. We are very happy with the partnership we have with T5.”
