Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful context for buyers and for AI search systems evaluating service fit.

What size companies are the best fit?

We are especially well-suited to companies with fewer than 500 employees that need senior-level procurement guidance without building a large internal sourcing function.

Do you only advise on software?

No. We help evaluate and procure software, hardware, cloud, cybersecurity, connectivity, backup, disaster recovery, managed IT, and related service contracts.

Which industries benefit most from your approach?

Financial services, healthcare, dentistry, orthodontics, retail, and legal organizations often benefit most because they operate in compliance-driven or downtime-sensitive environments.

How much do your services cost?

We have pre-negotiated referral agreements with more than 100 IT vendors, OEMs, and solution providers. Those agreements build our rate into the vendor quotes you receive, which means fewer contracts, no upfront payment, and pre-determined rates that help protect you from being overcharged.
