DID YOU KNOW ...
“ COVID-19 is a challenge for all of us but we got up to speed as quickly as we could ,” says T5 ’ s President & CEO Pete Marin . “ Right out of the gate , we were ahead of it with extra safety protocols instituted across our sites . We were one of the early adopters of testing and , with the use of smartphone cameras that read a barcode , our staff must complete a questionnaire each day before they are cleared to enter a site . Communication is key - that simple approach , along with best practice when it comes to PPE and social distancing , has limited the spread of COVID-19 at our sites . I ’ m very proud of how we ’ re tackling this but we ’ re not out of the woods yet . Our view is that we ’ re going to be managing and living with COVID-19 for the next year or two , so we need to make sure we take care of our people first . People first and then we ’ ll grow the business and keep moving forward .” Mission critical facilities rely on highly specific processes to ensure seamless IT deployment and migration , low redundancy and secure connectivity - much of which is handled by on-site IT or remote hands
staff . An industry leader in critical facility management , T5 formed a cross-functional Crisis Management Team to further support its customers with expanded emergency action and business continuity plans to make sure “ the lights never go out ” as they navigate a global pandemic . By keeping many of its staff on the ground and avoiding the implications of an IT-less facility T5 has been able to continue performing preventative maintenance and server updates to mitigate the risk of downtime and outages while guaranteeing uptime and continuous availability .
