Technology sourcing questions

What does a technology advisor do?

TaylorMade helps businesses evaluate technology options and providers. Our existing process covers discovery, requirements, solution evaluation, sourcing and negotiation, implementation, and support throughout the contract.

Which technology solutions can we discuss?

Our current practice areas include cybersecurity, infrastructure and cloud, managed services, connectivity, customer experience, and AI sourcing. Start with the business challenge if you are unsure which category fits.

Why work with an advisor instead of contacting a provider directly?

A provider explains its own offering. An advisor helps you organize requirements and compare options across providers, so your decision can consider business fit, scope and total cost together.

Understand the advisory approach
How do you compare providers?

The existing TMTA process starts with discovery and defined requirements, then uses solution evaluation, direct comparisons and sourcing discussions. The criteria depend on the technology and your business needs.

See the process
What should I prepare for a consultation?

Bring your main technology question, current providers, relevant renewal dates and any requirements you already know. The booking form asks for your business details, primary interest and what triggered the conversation.

Not sure which practice you need?

Start with the business problem in a 25 minute consultation.
