COLOTRAQ
150
COLOTRAQ is a company that thrives on change , and nothing drives change like a pandemic . Every client he speaks with is scrutinizing its IT infrastructure and architecture like never before , and that presents opportunities in every aspect of the IT value chain from their data center infrastructure to their communications and their networks . Security is again at the forefront : “ Hackers are having a field day thanks to the lockdown , where businesses secured their offices but not their employees ’ home networks , so we are seeing cybersecurity projects coming in relating to the post-pandemic world .”
“ Over 21 years I have been blessed by having rock stars for my employees and that makes it really easy to lead the company ”
— Dany Bouchedid , CEO , COLOTRAQ
The terrible economic and human cost of the crisis will accelerate the pace of change . Already the data center industry was predicted to grow at an annual rate of 25 % over the next five years . “ It ’ s vital for any entrepreneur to make sure he is not outpaced by the market he is in . For COLOTRAQ , if we feel we can ’ t handle demand at this scale we may raise a capital growth round and staff up – it will be a great problem to have !” It would be nice if the realization that IT consumes far more energy
