Your company’s survival requires embracing Digital Transformation. What no one tells you about digital transformation is it requires a lot of shopping. When every vendor is shouting they are the best, how do you break through all the noise?
Working with a premier technology broker, like My Resource Partners, can be invaluable. There are a lot of agents for Phone Systems, Internet or IT Services. However, they are only experts in one small aspect of your digital transformation. Their objective is to sell you a product and move on – not to ensure the product you select aligns with your bigger picture.
On the other hand, My Resource Partners has access to hundreds of providers around the country for every aspect of your business – Phones, Internet as well as IT, Cloud and Security. Before ever talking about products, your technology advisor will walk you through a discovery process to understand what you aim to achieve. That discovery process typically looks like this:
Outcome
What technology problem are you trying to fix? Why? Your technology advisor will ask a lot of questions to understand how this fits into your bigger picture.
Time Horizon
Your advisor will want to know if you have contracts maturing soon. Or, if you have upcoming projects or events that you need to be prepared for.
Budget
Always be willing to share your most recent contracts and bills with your broker. It helps your advisor get you apples-to-apples comparisons. Your advisor will often discover items on your bills that you are paying for and not even using.
Assessment
This is where knowing your desired outcome makes the biggest impact. Your technology advisor will assess your current infrastructure as well as how you are operating – and selling! They want to ensure the product or service you are considering aligns with your desired outcome. They take a lot of things into consideration – like how well this product will integrate with your current infrastructure.
Bidding
Stop wasting months shopping and vetting providers. Once the assessment is complete, your broker will have a clear idea of which providers make the most sense. They’ll gather quotes built to your specifications and, if needed, schedule demos or consultations with the providers.
Negotiation
Your broker will work to ensure all your requirements are being met and that you are getting the most aggressive pricing. With My Resource Partners, we typically save our clients 25-35%.
Implementation
At My Resource Partners, we see your project through to implementation. Our operations team works as a liaison between you and the provider to ensure the final outcome meets your expectations.
Whether you’re looking at a complete digital transformation or looking to make changes to one or two components of your infrastructure, it pays to work with a technology broker who will ensure you get the right product at the right price. The technology advisors at My Resource Partners are outcome-oriented to help you achieve your goals.
