Okay We’re Releasing the Files

It has been over a year since you’ve gotten new content here. I completed an MIT. In the spirit of Sam Altman I’m opening up my computer – This is assignment 1

Question:

Consider a working environment. It could be your current organization, an organization where you have previously worked, or a fictional organization. Think about the role of technology in the organization and how it assists managers and other employees with efficiency and productivity.

Response:

My organization relies on focus. We are not the cheapest, and often times the general public cannot tell our offering from other data centers. We are focused on a particular client who is able to utilize their data center as an asset for their company. We are focused on meeting the power requirements of what is being called data factories where businesses are finding value for their shareholders by having superior data. We also have a focus on interconnection that provides direct transmission of data for advantages in finance and other high speed interconnected processes.

We can leverage AI in the future at the data hall, campus, and global levels of our organization. In data halls we can preventively see where the supporting power infrastructure is about to go out and have solutions ready. At one of our large campuses our monthly report takes a few minutes longer every month because the data points are expanding by that much. We could use AI to toss any useless data to optimize this process and improve the overall data set. At a global level we can assure that investments that are in the hundreds of millions of dollars are made in the correct markets at the best times so that when customers come up with large requirements they can be filled on time and with a good profit. It is interesting to think that a company where AI is being stood up has so much potential to improve through the use of AI.

My company can gain differentiation and cost leadership through focus. Every property we build out is a gamble, every piece of machinery, every customer we sign. They are all opportunity costs of potentially better places we could have built, machinery that meets the needs of more clients in a more profitable way, and passing on a customer who isn’t going to grow for another one who ends up expanding and bringing tons of revenue. By being focused on optimizing decision making our company can save a lot of useless cycles of work that goes no where and focus on profits. With that we’d be able to pass some cost savings on to customers. The time savings would be a differentiator in speed to market and availability. Focus on who to serve, where, and how would be a clear strategic win in the data center industry.

AI could bring all of the data points from the data hall to the global footprint to optimize our company effectiveness. The data could be taken from the many different disciplines like, accounting, finance, engineering, and sales to make everything make sense for all parties. We could replace automated tasks with automation, avoid potential break down issues, plan for the future, and there are ways to improve in our industry that haven’t even been imagined yet.

The real magic will be the solutions that haven’t yet been imagined. It’s pretty cool to think a fundamental platform using a revolutionary tool for clients also doing the same to mee their own goals.

Stay tuned there are a handful of these to come….
