- Growth of the IT business and increase in equipment construction made it difficult to control the growth of equipment power consumption.
- Difficulty in attracting and retaining talent.
- Risk of service interruptions caused by natural disasters and equipment failures.
- Increased operating costs due to stringent GHG emission controls and carbon/energy taxes.
- Reputational risks due to failure to meet stakeholder expectations.
- Risk of non-collection of accounts receivable.
- Risk of information security breaches.
- Need to keep abreast of emerging technology trends.
