Buyer Questions

What to clarify before choosing a provider.

Use these answers as a starting point, then require the provider to tailor every commitment to your environment and put it in writing.

What is included in the Complete Buyers Guide?

It combines the Managed IT, Cybersecurity, Cloud, VoIP and Unified Communications, Networking, and Compliance guides into one document with sixty evaluation points and six provider scorecards.

Should one provider manage every category?

One accountable provider can reduce gaps, but only if it has credible depth in each category. Use the guide to test every capability, clarify responsibilities, and decide where a specialist is warranted.

Can the scorecards be used during vendor meetings?

Yes. Print or annotate each scorecard during discovery. Mark only commitments that are clear and available in writing, then compare vendors on the same criteria.
