Lee Technologies Achieves Record Growth With On-Site Staffing Services for Data Center Facilities
| Source: Lee Technologies
FAIRFAX, VA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 31, 2006 -- Lee Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of
solutions which enable commercial enterprises and government agencies to
avoid disaster and mitigate risk to their physical infrastructures,
announced a 30% growth in sales as the result of its On-Site Staffing
services during the past six months. This increase can be attributed to the
ability of Lee Technologies' team of experts to understand and implement
best practices for risk mitigation in data center infrastructures.
Lee Technologies works in the world's most advanced and mission-critical
data centers, providing customers with unsurpassed knowledge of crucial
system operating and maintenance procedures. The company's On-Site Staffing
services provide the depth and bench strength organizations like the
Department of Defense demand for protecting their mission-critical
facilities.
"Lee Technologies created standard operation procedures, daily walkthrough
inspection sheets, safety inspection criteria and various other processes
to enhance the overall operation of our facility," said Gary D. Perkins,
manager/facility engineer for Lockheed Martin Information & Technology
Services Enterprise Solutions.
Another Lee Technologies long-time customer, Freddie Mac, needed to ensure
that qualified personnel were available 24x7 to keep their operations up
and running without a hitch. "Lee Technologies ramped-up our data center
staffing to provide around-the-clock coverage, and was flexible enough to
take on all jobs associated with mission-critical support," said Tim Prime,
facilities director for Freddie Mac.
Lee Technologies has commissioned over five million square feet of
mission-critical space and currently maintains, monitors and provides
staffing for critical equipment such as uninterruptible power supplies
(UPSs), generators, switch gear, fire suppression and HVAC equipment in
over 3 million square feet throughout the U.S.
"Leading financial services, technology and defense customers place their
trust in Lee Technologies to protect their most critical IT operations and
help avoid disasters," stated George C. Newstrom, President and COO of Lee
Technologies. "This is and has been our mission for more than 20 years. Our
recent success is a testament to our expertise in meeting the rigorous
demands of enterprises by providing the flexibility and skilled personnel
needed for critical operations."
In a November 2005 report, IDC forecasts that outsourced IT services will
grow by 33% in five years, from $84.6 billion in 2004 to $112.5 billion in
2009. "As one of the few companies who can offer full lifecycle
infrastructure solutions for data centers including site assessments,
maintenance, monitoring, integration and equipment installation, we look
forward to our continued growth in this market," added Newstrom.
"Today's infrastructure is becoming much more complex and companies are
finding that outsourcing to experts who can take on the burden of watching
their critical systems is saving them time and money," stated Mike Hagan,
Senior Vice President of Lee Technologies. "New technologies such as blade
servers and Voice over IP (VoIP) are creating more demands on the
infrastructure. Power and cooling have become prime concerns as data
centers are running hotter and are much more condensed than ever before.
Having electrical and mechanical staff on-site 24/7 that are experts in
critical system infrastructure is a big relief for organizations who don't
have the bandwidth to get beyond the reactive mode of moving from one alarm
to the next. By outsourcing the care of their infrastructure to qualified
experts, they can better allocate their staff for proactive tasks and
mitigate the risks of costly downtime."
