Datalec Precision Installations (DPI) Launches In-House Electronic Security Service, Revolutionising Project Delivery

 


DPI welcomes Glenn Stephenson to the company as Operations Director – Electronic Security

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Datalec Precision Installations (DPI), a provider of world-class data centre design, supply, build, and support services to deliver seamless, integrated, and unified end-to-end solutions for data centre operators, is pleased to announce the expansion of its capabilities with the launch of in-house Electronic Security services. This innovative move sets DPI apart in the industry, providing clients with a unique end-to-end solution that eliminates the disruption often associated with third-party security provision.

DPI's in-house Electronic Security capability revolutionises project delivery by offering clients enterprise security systems, which can be pre-configured and pre-installed to our end-to-end solutions, alongside other bespoke offerings. This will be integral to our comprehensive end-to-end solutions. In contrast to industry norms relying on third-party providers, DPI's pioneering approach ensures a seamless and unified experience for data centre operators.

This marks a distinctive Unique Selling Proposition (USP) within the data centre industry, as we believe that DPI is the only entity in our field with the capability to manage security in-house. Unlike traditional practices where, for many different reasons, security is still being installed at the project's conclusion, DPI's integrated approach incorporates security into the main general contractor contract delivery. This proactive strategy addresses typical project creep associated with Ready for Service Dates (RFSD), overcoming security issues, and ensuring on-time and on-budget project delivery, meeting the high standards expected by clients.

The driving force behind this strategic initiative is the appointment of Glenn Stephenson as Operations Director for Electronic Security. With a distinguished career spanning over 30 years in the security industry, Glenn brings a wealth of experience and a proven record of successful project management and operational leadership.

In his role as Operations Director, Glenn will spearhead the delivery of electronic security solutions for data centres across the EMEA region. As the ultimate escalation point for all operational matters, including financial and physical aspects, Glenn will play a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless execution of projects. Additionally, he provides valuable support in Tender Returns and assists Project Managers with Final Account meetings. “I am very excited and proud to be chosen to direct this very important division within DPI,” said Glenn. “This really is a one-stop-shop for design, manufacturing, installation, security, and managed services. By having manufacturing capacity in-house, Datalec is poised to overcome security disruptions and issues, ensuring on-time and on-budget project delivery to the exacting standards clients expect.”

Datalec looks forward to continued success and growth under Glenn’s leadership and is confident that his wealth of experience will contribute significantly to the company's strategic goals.

Bacardi Gifting Celebrates Sustainability Landmark

 


 After cutting single-use plastic from its gifting range, the family-owned spirits company is now cutting cardboard gift packs too

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Family-owned Bacardi has announced that it is not only cutting single-use plastic from its gift packs, it will also now reduce the number of cardboard gift boxes for some of its iconic brands.

Four years ago, Bacardi set itself the ambitious goal of removing 100% of the single-use plastic from its gifting range by the end of 2023. Thanks to innovative new designs, the company has successfully removed almost 275 tons of single-use plastic used annually.

“We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved to date but we want to go one step further,” said Rodolfo Nervi, Vice President Safety, Quality and Sustainability for Bacardi. “We don’t want to just redesign our packaging to remove plastic, we want to do all we can to reduce our cardboard packaging too.”

It’s with this in mind that Bacardi will now begin reducing the number of cardboard gift boxes for brands including BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® gin, DEWAR’S® White Label Blended Scotch whisky and MARTINI® sparkling wines. This move will cut the company’s use of cardboard by approximately 100 tons in the first year alone.

Where Bacardi continues to use paper and cardboard for its packaging, it is certified by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) or the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®).

“We are not standing still. We are constantly innovating. For more than 160 years, our iconic brands have reflected the changing tastes of each new generation of consumers. Today, consumers want drinks that are made in the most environmentally responsible way possible and so do we,” added Rodolfo.

Huawei Unveils Joint Fellowship With ITU, Makes Strides in Digital Inclusion

  DONGGUAN, Chine - Wednesday, 29. November 2023

90 million people connected under Huawei's pledge to ITU's Partner2Connect Digital Coalition

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Huawei announced it has already brought connectivity to 90 million people in remote regions in nearly 80 countries following its pledge to the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) Partner2Connect (P2C) Digital Coalition. The announcement was made as part of Huawei's first progress report since joining the Coalition last year.

Dr. Liang Hua, Chairman of the Board of Huawei, made the announcement at the company's 2023 Sustainability Forum, which is themed "Thriving Together with Tech: Realizing Sustainable Development." In addition to, Doreen Bogdan-Martin, the Secretary-General of ITU; Jeffrey Sachs, President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and Commissioner of the UN Broadband Commission for Development; as well as representatives from telecommunications ministries and regulators, including some from Pakistan and Ghana. Participants examined the ways in which digital infrastructure can facilitate sustainable development and contribute to the construction of an intelligent world that is both greener and more inclusive.

"Next-generation digital infrastructure, such as connectivity and computing power, are as vital to driving socio-economic development as our physical infrastructure, just like roads. This new infrastructure will be essential to the sustainable development for all of society," Dr. Liang said. "Computing is a core driver of productivity in the digital economy. Faster rollout of computing infrastructure will help speed up digital transition in many industries, and promote deeper integration of the digital and real economies. This can further promote global economic stability and sustainable development."

Further adding to Dr. Liang's comment, Doreen Bogdan-Martin, the Secretary-General of ITU, said: "We should not make a trade-off between sustainable development and technology. We require both ! Let's thrive together with tech. Let's construct a digital future that propels human and environmental progress forward."

Huawei firmly believes digital talent is key to future technological innovation. To foster more widespread digital engagement and develop future leaders, the company has deepened its partnership with ITU by launching a fellowship known as the "ITU Generation Connect Young Leadership Programme in Partnership with Huawei".

The fellowship will be open for applications early next year and will last three years. Each year, 30 young visionaries (aged 18-28) from around the world will receive support in their projects to use digital technology to drive community development.

Jeff Wang, President of Huawei's Public Affairs and Communications Department, noted: "Huawei is proud to partner with ITU for this important cause, and to witness the concrete progress that young visionaries are making toward global digital inclusion. The support that participants will receive includes financial contributions to their projects, mentoring from ITU and Huawei experts, and opportunities to participate in joint events."

"Through ITU and Huawei's joint efforts, young people will learn, contribute and lead in the digital world," stated Dr Cosmas Luckyson Zavazava, Director of ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau. "Digital is a prerequisite for accelerating the achievement of the SDGs. We encourage youth to push the boundaries of the expanding global digital ecosystem and make transformative contributions. I am grateful to Huawei for this great cooperation, and I am looking forward to the global impact of this innovative project."

The P2C Coalition, launched by ITU, fosters meaningful connectivity and digital transformation globally, prioritizing remote communities in countries and regions that lack digital access. Huawei signed the global commitment last year, with the objective of connecting 120 million people in remote areas across more than 80 countries by 2025. In collaboration with local ministries and universities, Huawei has already provided 2,066 training opportunities in Cambodia, the ITU's first P2C partner country.
