COLOTRAQ Launches Data Center Sourcing Tool

COLOTRAQ, master agency for data center infrastructure (DCI) services, has released cloud-based software for the sourcing of data center infrastructure services, dubbed DCITRAQ.

The custom-developed proprietary software will enable agents and clients to dynamically research, compare and purchase colocation, managed hosting and cloud services through CoLOTRAQ’s network of over 400 service providers in nearly every market worldwide. This includes over 200 enterprise cloud providers and access to more than 3,000 colocation/managed hosting facilities around the globe.

“This software is truly an industry first and highly innovative in its design and will undoubtedly change the way companies source data center infrastructure services such as colocation, managed hosting, cloud and related network services,” said Dany Bouchedid, COLOTRAQ founder and CEO.

DCITRAQ incorporates an algorithm that matches a client’s project requirements to the offerings and capabilities that vendors have specified in the system. A user will then be able to launch a comparison chart that will highlight the matching vendors’ capabilities and offerings to further streamline and simplify the sourcing process.

“As an additional feature of educating and empowering our clients on the various service offerings of our vendors, the software will have a fully integrated center of intelligence (COI) that will allow clients and agents to view all sorts of content such as sales and marketing collateral, white papers, events, promotions, among other content that our vendors upload,” said Lou Peccoralo, COLOTRAQ’s COO.

With an integrated CRM platform that agents can use as their own, DCITRAQ will enable all communication on deals to happen through the system, allowing for better management of a client’s project throughout its lifecycle. COLOTRAQ will continue to provide dedicated, full service, hands-on client consultation and management of the projects as well as all the associated back-office support.

DCITRAQ can also be private-labeled by agents as their own to push down-channel to sub-agents as well as clients.

COLOTRAQ is launching DCITRAQ as a license-free software for its clients and agent partners to use. The company is planning to roll out further software enhancements and features over the next several months, including comprehensive data mining and reporting capabilities that will allow users to see all of their project history, all communications on a particular deal, historical revenue and agent commission information through full integration with COLOTRAQ’s cloud based accounting platform.
