Know which data center requests are worth a scoping call
Ask whether it's a new buildout, migration, or an active issue affecting production, capture rack count and compliance requirements, and collect facility diagrams before a request ever reaches your CRM.
The exact intake your data center services leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Data Center Services — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified data center services lead should tell you
Support for planning, deploying, migrating, or maintaining data center infrastructure — covering new buildouts, relocations, upgrades, ongoing maintenance, and active troubleshooting across on-premise, colocation, and cloud environments.
- Data Center Support
- Infrastructure Located Or Planned
- How Many Servers Or
- This Issue Affecting Live
- Have Authority Approve Infrastructure
- Soon This Work Begin
- Compliance Or Uptime Requirements
The questions your team needs answered
Every data center services intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of data center support do you need? | The type of support requested determines whether this is a full buildout, a migration, or a same-day troubleshooting call, which sets the scope of the eventual engagement. |
| Where is the infrastructure located or planned? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Approximately how many servers or racks are involved? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Is this issue currently affecting live operations or production systems? | Whether the issue is affecting live production carries the highest weight because it separates business-critical emergencies from lower-urgency requests. |
| Do you have authority to approve infrastructure changes or contracts for this project? | A client without authority to approve infrastructure contracts can't move directly to a scoping call, so this answer flags who else needs to be involved. |
| How soon do you need this work to begin? | How soon work needs to start indicates whether the lead should be prioritized ahead of longer-cycle planning-stage requests. |
| Which compliance or uptime requirements apply to this environment? | Compliance and uptime requirements determine whether the engagement needs specialized regulatory or SLA-driven expertise before scoping begins. |

Built for data center services workflows
| Cliont capability | Data Center Services application |
|---|---|
| Conditional question branching | Selecting 'Troubleshooting an active issue' versus 'New data center or server room buildout' as the support type surfaces different follow-up questions, so a migration project isn't asked the same things as a live outage. |
| Lead scoring by weighted signals | Answers to production impact and approval authority carry the heaviest weights, so an unauthorized enquiry about a non-critical issue scores far lower than a production-affecting problem from a decision-maker. |
| Compliance-aware routing | Multi-select compliance and uptime answers (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SLA) let the team flag leads that need a specialist with regulatory experience before the scoping call is even scheduled. |
| File and document upload | Clients can attach existing network diagrams or facility specs alongside their support-type and scale answers, giving engineers real detail before the first call. |
Common data center services lead scenarios
Production outage, needs help now
The client flags an issue affecting live systems and wants work to start immediately — the intake surfaces this combination so it jumps the queue ahead of planning-stage enquiries.
New buildout still in planning
A prospect is scoping a new server room but hasn't finalized location or compliance requirements yet — the intake captures the early-stage details without treating it as urgent.
Large migration with compliance load
A colocation migration involving more than 20 racks and PCI-DSS or uptime SLA requirements signals a higher-value, more technically demanding engagement than a routine relocation.
Interested contact, no sign-off power
Someone requests infrastructure changes but doesn't have authority to approve contracts — the intake flags this so the team can loop in the actual decision-maker before scoping.
Small ongoing maintenance request
A client with a handful of servers wants routine support rather than a project — the intake distinguishes this lower-effort, non-urgent request from active buildouts or outages.

Data Center Services lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell an active outage apart from a routine request?
It asks whether the issue is currently affecting live operations and how soon work needs to begin, so a production-impacting problem with an immediate timeline scores differently than a planning-stage enquiry.
Does the form capture whether infrastructure is on-premise, colocated, or cloud-based?
Yes, clients select their current or planned environment as part of the intake, which helps route the lead to the right specialist before a scoping call is booked.
Can the intake check whether the person submitting the request can approve a contract?
Yes, it directly asks whether the client has authority to approve infrastructure changes or contracts, which flags leads that need a decision-maker looped in before scoping proceeds.
What compliance information gets collected?
The intake asks which compliance or uptime requirements apply — including HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SLA commitments — so leads with specialized regulatory needs are identified upfront.
What if a client isn't sure how many servers or racks are involved?
The catalog includes a 'Not sure' option for scale, so those leads are still captured and scored rather than dropped from the intake.
How is this different from an intake for structured cabling or server installation?
Data Center Services intake covers facility-level work — buildouts, migrations, and ongoing infrastructure support — while sibling subservices like Structured Cabling or Server Installation handle narrower, single-scope requests.
