Minimize risks through certified expertise
Solid expertise for growing data center challenges
The demands on modern data centers are continuously increasing. At the same time, studies show: humans are the number one risk factor in critical incidents. Over 70% of all failures are due to human error - whether through wrong decisions, lack of knowledge, or inadequate processes.
This situation is exacerbated by the acute shortage of skilled workers in the industry. Qualified employees are hard to find, while the demands on their expertise continue to rise. The solution lies in systematic qualification - both for new employees and experienced professionals.
Human as a Critical Factor
Human errors are the main cause of failures in data centers. Increasing complexity and lack of standardization exacerbate this problem.
