SMARTER PROCUREMENT, FASTER DELIVERY: RETHINKING CAPEX IN THE DATA CENTRE ERA

Discover how Owner-Furnished, Contractor-Installed (OFCI) procurement and modular power strategies are redefining how data centres manage capital expenditure, accelerate build times, and future-proof infrastructure.

As the demand for AI, cloud, and digital infrastructure surges, speed and cost efficiency have become the defining challenges for modern data centre delivery. This white paper explores how OFCI procurement and modular power systems offer a smarter, more resilient approach to CAPEX management—giving operators control over key assets, minimising supply chain risk, and enabling faster, scalable deployment.

Whether you’re building your next hyperscale site or optimising your existing portfolio, this paper shows how leading operators are combining OFCI and modularisation to deliver faster, cheaper, and more flexible facilities—without compromising reliability or quality.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

✅ Control Your CAPEX – Avoid contractor markups and secure long-lead assets on your own terms.
✅ Reduce Risk – Overcome supply chain bottlenecks with proactive, owner-led procurement.
✅ Build Faster – Deploy new facilities up to 50% quicker through modular design and parallel construction.
✅ Scale Smarter – Add capacity in flexible, repeatable modules that grow with your business.
✅ Future-Proof Operations – Achieve standardisation, better asset management, and long-term operational efficiency.

MORE ABOUT WHAT IS IN THIS WHITE PAPER

1. Overcoming Supply Chain Constraints – Learn how to mitigate delays in critical power and cooling equipment procurement through proactive sourcing and early asset acquisition.

2. OFCI Procurement Explained – Understand how retaining ownership of key assets—like generators, switchgear, and UPS systems—empowers operators to control costs, improve quality, and standardise across multiple sites.

3. Modularisation as a CAPEX Optimiser – Explore how offsite-fabricated, plug-and-play power systems reduce construction costs, streamline deployment, and allow phased, scalable investment.

4. Speed to Market – See how combining OFCI and modularisation cuts delivery times by up to 50%, enabling data centres to go live faster in high-demand markets.

5. Enhanced Quality & Reliability – Discover the advantages of factory-tested, pre-assembled modules that ensure consistent quality, seamless integration, and reduced onsite errors.

6. Maximising IT Space & ROI – Find out how relocating critical power systems outside the white space increases rack density, boosts compute output per square metre, and delivers long-term ROI.
