Data center dialogues by Data Center University · Episode 7 | The strategic importance of data centers and their role in digital transformation · 21 Apr 2026 podcast

So when we talk about digital transformation, we very often mention innovation and the cloud, and of course, artificial intelligence.

We rarely mention the physical foundation that makes it all possible.

So I'd like to begin there.

Joost, from a CIO perspective, how do you determine the role of the data center within the digital strategy of WDP?

So in that sense, it's important.

Boudouin, because you advise organizations regarding their data center strategy.

So which aspects are really important?

Indeed, several aspects that we will talk about in depth a little bit later.

But I'd like to invite you to take us through the decision making process.

So when do you have to make decisions about data centers?

So when exactly is that?

So we decided... And when you say it was not safe, what exactly do you mean by that?

which takes quite a while, of course.

So safety, security of where you store the data is really crucial.

So what's your take on this decision to really outsource and to be unburdened because that's what you do as a company.

Is that a good strategy?

What about the cost?

Was that taken into account as well?

The cost of being unburdened?

Regarding the cloud solutions, you talked a bit about the on-premises, but the cloud, the private cloud, what's your take on the different cloud solutions?
