Dear Data Center Facility Manager, A week ago, we sent you an invitation to participate in a benchmarking survey on data center operating costs. To date, we haven't received your response. This is a reminder that the deadline for responses is June 14, 2018. All survey respondents will be entered into a drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card. Survey participants will receive a spread sheet showing anonymized answers from all respondents. (An example of the spread sheet appears at the bottom of this email.) The results of this benchmarking survey results may help to justify additional funding for data center operations. There are two ways to complete the survey. To enter your answers into the online survey form, click on this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FXMDW3C To provide your data by emailing (or faxing) a paper form with your answers, click on this link to the PDF survey form: http://www.tradepress.com/downloads/Data_Center_Facility_Operating_Costs.pdf All survey responses will remain confidential (no site or company name will accompany the data in the report). The list of companies participating will be shared separately. David Boston, Director, Facility Operations Solutions, TiePoint-bkm Engineering, LLC, is available to answer questions about the benchmarking survey. His email address is dboston@tiepoint-bkm.com. You can also contact me at ed.sullivan@tradepressmedia.com. Since the number of readers contacted is small, your participation is especially important for the success of this project. I look forward to getting your response. Edward Sullivan Editor Building Operating Management 2100 W. Florist Ave. Milwaukee, WI 53209
