Frequently Asked Questions
Advisory is designed for ongoing lifecycle support (sourcing + governance + renewals). Consulting is a paid, time-bound engagement with defined deliverables (RFx, migration PMO, FinOps).
Yes. We can support renewals, expansions, term reviews, benchmarking, and ongoing vendor governance—while still evaluating alternatives when it makes sense.
We can act as an escalation point and help drive accountability and resolution. Your internal teams remain the owners of operational change decisions; we help you get unstuck and keep vendors honest.
