We've moved!!!

Like with many these days much of our team is remote. And while we continue to provide our "RFP Alternative" services to US-based companies and their locations around the world, we thought it important to share that we've moved. Our beautiful new facility is located: 


100 N. Loudoun Street, Suite 130

Winchester, VA 22601

As strategic sourcing partners, Cloud 9 delivers peace of mind to business and IT leaders and their teams who need to find the right security, cloud & IT services and solutions, and more importantly, the right vendors that can deliver them. 

Clarity

We stand between you and potential service providers to deliver clear, concise, and board-ready documentation and due diligence to slice through the marketing fluff and gimmicks. We translate the industry jargon and alphabet-soup. You get clarity with our proven system, decades of data, and our Pathfinder platform so you can make confident buying decisions that solve problems quickly.

Research and due diligence are essential for any new initiative. In the IT world, technology constantly changes and performing proper due diligence the traditional way is exhausting and highly time-consuming. 

Remove Vendor Fatigue

We remove the fatigue that always comes with trying to manage multiple potential vendors, theirs sales reps and engineers, and constantly repeating yourself in dozens of meetings when seeking new IT-related services and solutions.

Using Pathfinder, our proprietary IT decision-making platform, we streamline and facilitate the technology buyer’s journey and mitigate potentially expensive mistakes organizations experience. 

Reduce Risk

We reduce the risk involved when deciding on new or replacement cloud & IT-related services and solutions and mitigate potentially expensive mistakes organizations  can experience after purchasing new technologies when going with unproven and unknown vendors.

Business and IT leaders need to find and vet competent providers with the right solutions that their solve problems, and fast.  It is vital to get it right or risk implementing a solution that is more than you bargained for, more than you need, or worse yet, something staff won’t use.

Strategic Partners

Every company wants to be your partner. But let’s face it, if they’re selling you something, they're not a partner, they’re just another vendor.

We help you facilitate decisions quickly by providing clear and concise information on any of the 250+ participating member companies in our Supplier Portfolio.
