Unsere Grundprinzipien
Was uns antreibt und wofür wir stehen

Thomas Wawra
Founder & CEO of DCE academy
When we founded DCE academy in 2007, we had a clear goal: to systematically improve the quality of data center planning, construction, and operations through comprehensive training. This mission continues to drive us today.
Data centers are critical infrastructures where compromises are not only costly but also risky. Our values – methodical precision, vendor-independent objectivity, and practical applicability – are reflected in every aspect of our training.
What sets us apart: Our instructors are not just theorists; they apply their expertise daily in ongoing projects and in the development of international standards such as EN 50600 and ISO/IEC 22237-X. As an exclusive sponsor of the ISO/IEC 22237-X working group, we provide our participants with direct access to the latest developments – often long before they become generally available.
We measure our success not by the number of training courses conducted, but by the measurable success of our participants in practice. The systematic transfer of well-founded knowledge that is directly applicable and creates verifiable qualifications – this is our commitment to every single training course.
Our vision is to set standards through qualification at the highest level and to sustainably shape the data center industry in German-speaking countries.
Best regards,
Thomas Wawra
