What Do Customers Value Most in a Data Centre Provider? Insights from the Servecentric Customer Survey

Why do organisations choose Servecentric? We surveyed our customers to find out.


Intro

When businesses choose a data centre provider, reliability, security, responsiveness, and trusted support are usually at the top of the list.

To better understand what matters most to our customers, we recently conducted a customer satisfaction survey. The results provide valuable insight into what organisations expect from their data centre partner and how Servecentric is performing against those expectations.


What Do Customers Consider Most Important in a Data Centre?

One of the most common questions businesses ask when evaluating a data centre provider is:

"What should I look for in a data centre partner?"

According to our survey, customers consistently ranked the following as the most important factors:

  • Reliability and uptime
  • Security and compliance
  • Access to technical expertise
  • Fast response times
  • Flexibility and agility

Interestingly, not only were reliability and security the most important factors to respondents, but also the areas where Servecentric received our highest ratings.


How Satisfied Are Servecentric Customers?

Customer satisfaction is one of the clearest indicators of service quality.

Our latest survey found that:

  • Average customer satisfaction score: 94/100
  • 100% of respondents said they would recommend Servecentric to a colleague
  • 76% rated Servecentric better than other data centres they have worked with and 100% we were either as good or better!

These results suggest that customers value not just our infrastructure, but also the support and expertise behind it.


Why Do Customers Choose Servecentric?

When asked about their experience, customers consistently highlighted:

Reliability

Applications, services and business operations depend on infrastructure being available when needed. Customers identified reliability as one of the primary reasons they continue to work with Servecentric.

Security

Protecting critical systems and data remains a major concern for organisations. Customers rated our security capabilities among our strongest attributes.

Access to People

Many customers told us they value having direct access to key technical personnel who understand their environment and can respond quickly when required as opposed to opaque portal only support systems.

Agility

What Are Customers Planning Over the Next 12 Months?

Another encouraging finding was that:

This growth reinforces the importance of ensuring we continue to deliver the reliability, security, expertise and support our customers expect.
