What We Do

Sourcing and negotiation, engineered for enterprise IT

We embed with your sourcing and procurement teams to run the technical, financial, and contractual work that carrier negotiations demand — and that internal teams rarely have the bandwidth or leverage to run alone.

Telecom Contract Negotiation

Direct negotiation with AT&T, Verizon, Lumen, and other carriers on MPLS, SD-WAN, dedicated internet, voice, mobility, and managed services agreements.

Legacy Technology Decommissioning

Structured retirement of end-of-life circuits, PBXs, MPLS, and legacy carrier services — with clean cutovers, credit recovery, and disconnect discipline.

RFP & Sourcing Strategy

End-to-end RFP design, carrier down-selection, term-sheet development, and MSA/SOW negotiation aligned to your enterprise architecture and roadmap.

Benchmarking & Spend Analysis

Line-by-line invoice audits, market-rate benchmarking, and rationalization to expose overbilling, ghost services, and above-market pricing.

Network Transformation Advisory

Independent guidance on SD-WAN, SASE, cloud connectivity, and next-generation WAN — vendor-neutral, sourced to your business case.

Contract Governance & Optimization

Ongoing contract lifecycle management: renewal calendars, true-up defense, service-credit enforcement, and mid-term amendment leverage.
