Enabling a Data Center Leader to Achieve First-to-Market Through Agile Supply Chain Execution
Background
A Critical Need for a Reliable Mexico Partner
A global data-center infrastructure leader (“the Customer”) sought a new strategic partner to stabilize its Mexico facility after experiencing chronic delays, repeated line-down events, slow U.S.-based decision cycles, and limited on-site alignment from incumbent suppliers.
A Complex Launch Under High Pressure
At the same time, the Customer was launching a new plant, implementing new processes, developing a next-generation liquid-cooling system, and onboarding new teams — all under one mandate: be first to market.
