Enterprise Project Performance

 
Data centers are being planned and built at a pace the industry has never seen before. Yet the core challenges remain familiar: fragmented data, disconnected teams, late projects and operations that struggle to keep up with demand. 

That is why we created our Data Center Lifecycle Webinar Series. This three-part journey covers the full lifecycle of a data center from design and construction to capital project performance and long-term operations, led by experts from Hexagon and our Alliance Partner ecosystem with decades of megaproject knowledge. 

Whether you are an owner, advisor, design-build partner or operator, each session provides you with practical ways to deliver faster, more predictable projects and build operations that withstand the pressure of today’s rapidly scaling data center environments. Learn how to transform your data center facilities into strategic differentiators that help you maximize your return on investment. 

Session 1: Blueprinting the Data Center Co-Located Power Plant Build 

As providers race to add capacity, co-located power plants have become a strategic necessity. The challenge is delivering them at speed without sacrificing predictability or quality. 

In the first session, you’ll hear from ReVisionz’s Chuck Gill and Hexagon’s Jay Schwartz as they draw on deep industry experience to demonstrate how data centers can avoid common pitfalls by:  

• Standardizing designs for repeatable, scalable builds
• Using modular construction to shorten schedules and simplify commissioning
• Maintaining data continuity from design through handover for seamless alignment between contractors and operations 

If you are wrestling with complex, multi-stakeholder builds or struggling to repeat success at new sites, this must-see session shows how a consistent blueprint can remove surprises and support a stronger delivery to operations. 

Session 2: Why Capital Project Owners Need an Enterprise Platform – Now

Even the best design strategy falls short if owners cannot see what is happening across the project portfolio. In many data center programs, facilities open late, capacity lags demand and revenues slip because owners depend on contractors to manage critical project data. 

If you are responsible for budgeting, scheduling or portfolio outcomes, in this session, Accenture’s Lori Hernandez and Hexagon’s TC Newbill  demonstrate how an enterprise project performance mindset can turn projects plagued by last-minute changes into true business accelerators. Watch now on demand and hear how owners can:  

• Consolidate fragmented project data into a single, trusted view
• Gain earlier visibility into risk before delays become headlines   
• Forecast at the portfolio level, aligning capital with business priorities and timelines 

Session 3: Building Systems that Don’t Break – Trusted Operations for Data Centers

Delivering the facility is only the beginning. The long-term value of any data center depends on how reliably and safely it runs over time. If your priority is uptime, scalability and audit-ready operations, this session shows how to build systems and processes that hold up under growth, not just during go-live. 

In our third webinar, Compass Facilities’ Bryan Decker joins Hexagon’s Neil Singh to focus on the operational side of the lifecycle, diving into how owners can: 

• Establish a single operational source of truth for assets, people and processes
• Use predictive insights to reduce downtime, risk and operational friction  
• Close the loop between incidents, corrective actions and continuous improvement
