Pros and cons

A balanced read so you can weigh this firm yourself. We do not rank or recommend firms. Independence is shown as a pro; reseller, Big-Four or vendor-side-audit ties as a con — both factual trade-offs.

Pros

  • Independent SAM and optimization advice across Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and IBM offered as a distinct service line
  • Familiar with regional procurement and public-sector buying patterns
Cons
  • Also resells SAM tooling, a potential conflict of interest with strictly buyer-side advice, because tool selection can sit inside a sales motion
