Technology Expense Assessment

Care for some TEA - Technology Expense Assessment

How much are those telecom, mobility, and cloud services really costing you?

The Cloud 9 Technology Expense Assessment (TEA) program will help you better understand the pricing and terms of your current contracts and invoices, compare them to other competitive providers in the industry, and ultimately find areas for improvement of services, support, and savings.


We’ll thoroughly inspect all recent invoices of all your technology services and look for billing errors, overages, unusual usage and patterns, and any unnecessary charges. Then we’ll uncover any potential overlaps in services, show you places where you can trim services, and other areas that can save money on your all your service provider expenses.


If it turns out that you are getting good value from your current providers, then our audit will give you peace of mind about sticking with them.


If not, we’ll help you find the right vendors and obtain best-in-class pricing for new services.

Why Most Business Leaders Use a Third-Party

Industry noise, marketing fluff, and information disparity explain why a recent poll showing 64% of US-based business decision-makers use third-party consultants and system integrators when buying IT products, services, and solutions. 


Sought-after IT solutions, including many managed, cloud, and other “as-a-Service” offerings, often lie outside the buyer’s domain of expertise. These types of IT buying decisions are complex and deeply intertwined with a company’s systems, security, other and areas of the business. Perhaps more importantly, return and value on these investments are not always obvious. As a result, these decisions can be painstaking and significant with long-term consequences. 


The ultimate role of the expert technology advisor is to REDUCE BUYER RISK. These experts are in the trenches of new, up-and-coming technologies every day. They should be able to easily translate the “geek-speak” to language both the executive buyer and the user buyer understands. And be able to provide “pithy” solution and vendor information that facilitates quick and confident decisions.
Cloud 9 Advisers helps business leaders and understaffed IT teams that need a strategic partner, not just another vendor. We help decision-makers buy the right technology solutions and not “get sold” on the wrong ones. We work with you to rationalize and reduce technology spending without sacrificing technology itself and employ sound digital transformation principles and strategies.


We do not sell solutions, we help you buy the right solutions. We are not a vendor, we help you find the right vendors. We facilitate decisions by diagnosing problems then prescribing the right procedures and “medication”. 


We are impartial, unbiased, and vendor-neutral technology practitioners with expertise in four critical segments: Cybersecurity, Communications, Connectivity, and Cloud. Our proprietary software contains decades of data and analytics on all of the 250+ vendors in our Supplier Portfolio. We’ll help you quickly identify, research, evaluate, and compare appropriate solutions and vendors; eliminating months of labor trying to do it on your own.
