are very transparent with our customers and so they do too ,” Patankar explains .

“ A supply chain partner of ours must be transparent . Huawei is very upfront , telling us what they can and can ’ t do on time . They ’ re aware of all the ongoing and upcoming projects , but what they do for us is plan inventory on their side so that they can help us to deliver the project on time in a costeffective manner .”

As the footprint of BDx grows , particularly in Indonesia , the company will continue to leverage partnerships to provide a much more agile approach to procuring the necessary components for its data centres , but also encourage a transparency method of customer service . In such a dynamic industry , BDx Indonesia can look ahead as early as six months and as far as 18 to assess the evolution of its operations – with increasing capacity being the primary , overarching endeavour .
