IT Facility Management
The data centres and system rooms play a key role and should thus be treated accordingly. However, for reasons of costs, tasks relating to these areas are frequently neglected or are entrusted to members of staff who are already overloaded with work. This leads to minor problems being ignored, which when they accumulate can have disastrous consequences.
