There are a lot of responsibilities that fall on CIOs and IT professionals. It is their job is to keep the network, computers, phone systems, physical and cyber-security, customer experience, business continuity, and disaster recovery running smoothly. So, when it comes to vetting the vast number of provider solutions, identifying which ones provide the optimal programs for your company, negotiating contracts, and rolling out services, not only is it overwhelming, but many opportunities can be overlooked… because they are juggling so many jobs! Often a company will engage a direct salesperson from a provider, who can only offer bias advice as they represent one solution. And, they will do their best to fit the square peg in the round hole, because that is the only way they get paid. The consequences companies face is implementing the wrong solution at the wrong price, costing them significant frustration, resources, and money in the long-term. Other companies will hire a broker, who simply sources providers, offer a rate card, and leaves it to you to negotiate the contract and your team is stuck implementing the solution on their own. There is a better way.
