Vendor and telecom management
Carrier, ISP, and vendor contracts tracked, negotiated, and escalated by someone accountable.
Contracts that auto-renew because nobody owns them
Every mid-market company accumulates technology vendor relationships: internet circuits, phone systems, SaaS subscriptions, hardware maintenance contracts. Most of them auto-renew, most of them get more expensive every year, and most of them have no single person tracking renewal dates or negotiating better terms.
The cost isn't just the renewal creep. It's the escalation problem: when a circuit goes down or a vendor stops being responsive, someone has to know who to call and have enough leverage to get a real answer, not a ticket number.
We take this on as an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time contract review: tracking renewal dates, negotiating on your behalf, and being the escalation point when a vendor is not performing.
What's included

- Telecom and circuit managementInternet, phone, and carrier services managed and escalated when performance slips.

Proof
This is the least glamorous service on this site, and one of the stickiest, because once someone actually owns vendor relationships, nobody wants to go back to tracking them in a spreadsheet.
Common questions
How many vendor contracts does this typically cover?
As many as your technology stack has: internet circuits, phone systems, SaaS subscriptions, and hardware maintenance agreements, all in one tracked inventory.
Do you negotiate on our behalf or just advise?
We negotiate directly when you want us to, using knowledge of what the market actually charges as leverage.
What happens when a vendor stops being responsive?
You get one escalation point of contact instead of navigating their support queue yourself.
Is this part of Co-Managed IT or a standalone service?
Both. It's included in Co-Managed IT engagements and available as a standalone service for companies that just need vendor oversight.
