DATA CENTRES

We specialise in growth strategies to realise the promised return on your data centre investments

How can STL enable your growth vision?

STL helps companies across the data centre ecosystem to realise their growth vision – covering organic and inorganic data centre opportunities. We work with:

• Data centre operators to evaluate new markets and new offerings, identify DC acquisition targets and conduct commercial due diligence, and build a valuable and sticky customer base through innovative commercial strategy and compelling marketing and sales materials.
• Data centre investors to validate investment theses through market assessments, identify acquisition targets, and conduct commercial due diligence.
• Data centre suppliers to validate and refine their solution and proposition, develop a commercial strategy for sustained growth in the evolving data centre market, and engage prospective customers through strategic marketing services (whitepapers, webinars, events)

“STL helped to build our five year growth strategy. The deliverables were unique, tangible and pithy and provided essential direction for the business. We greatly valued STL’s deep expertise in this space.” – CEO, Pulsant, UK data centre provider
