Fractional CTO & Technology Advisory
Vendor Management & IT Project Oversight
Independent oversight of MSPs, vendors, proposals and projects already in flight.
An independent voice on vendors, MSPs and projects
Many organizations rely entirely on their vendors to tell them what they need. Vendors are often right, but they are rarely neutral. We act as an unbiased third party who reviews proposals, contracts and projects on your behalf.
What we oversee
- MSP relationships. Service levels, reporting, scope and whether the contract still matches your needs.
- Proposals and quotes. Technical review of what is being proposed, whether it fits, and what alternatives exist.
- Vendor selection. Requirements, shortlists and evaluations for new systems and services.
- Renewals. Licensing and support renewals reviewed before they auto-renew.
- Projects in flight. A sanity check on vendor IT projects already underway, including scope, schedule, risk and quality.
- Procurement. When you need hardware or licensing, our IT Sales service offers access to the full Ingram Micro catalog and fast quote turnaround.
Why it pays for itself
Oversight helps you avoid buying the wrong thing, paying for services you do not use and discovering problems after a project is finished. Just as important, it gives leadership confidence that technology decisions are being made in the business’s interest.
