Combining operator expertise with insights from more than 1.7 million assets, the assessment provides a new benchmark for evaluating operational performance.
Richmond, VA — [June 23, 2026] — MCIM today announced the launch of Operational Audits, an in-person assessment designed to help colocation providers evaluate operational readiness, identify hidden risks, and strengthen execution across portfolios.
Colocation operators are being asked to manage a growing number of variables simultaneously, including higher-density AI/HPC workloads, evolving compliance requirements, FM providers, and staffing challenges. In that environment, operational risk develops across interconnected workflows and teams, rather than from a single system failure, making it more difficult to see from inside the organization itself. MCIM developed this assessment to provide that outside perspective.
An Assessment Built by Operators, for Operators
Operational Audits are powered by operational intelligence spanning more than 1.7 million assets globally, which gives operators access to benchmarking and performance insights beyond what traditional consulting engagements provide. They’re delivered on-site by experienced operators who’ve managed mission-critical facilities themselves, providing additional context informed by challenges they’ve experienced firsthand. Organizations are evaluated across 10 operational categories, including maintenance execution, technology stack integration, and incident management.
Turning Operational Visibility Into Action
Each engagement culminates in a comprehensive findings report that gives operators a clear view of where the organization stands, where it’s exposed, and where to invest next. The report identifies operational weak points and emerging threats, benchmarks performance against MCIM’s global dataset, and equips leadership with the evidence needed to communicate investment priorities across the organization. From there, operators have everything they need to move forward – on their own timeline, in the way that works for their organization.
“Our industry has gotten very good at watching infrastructure run to failure and surprisingly bad at measuring execution,” said Mike Parks, CEO of MCIM. “The problem with this approach is that a site rarely goes down because one system failed, it goes down because of inconsistent execution that no one was tracking. With AI/HPC environments pushing higher densities, every gap carries more risk; Operational Audits can proactively close those gaps.”
