01How we choose
What a vendor has to prove before we use it
Every product we put in front of a client is something we support for years, so we are picky about what makes the list.
A strong security record
A vendor that takes its own security seriously and responds quickly when issues are found.
In practiceKey suppliers are checked before we rely on them, as part of our ISO 27001 system.
Built for businesses your size
Enterprise capability without enterprise licensing or complexity.
In practicePer user licensing, on monthly or annual terms where the vendor allows it.
Works with the rest of the stack
It integrates cleanly with Microsoft 365 and the tools we use to manage and secure your environment.
In practiceFewer consoles and fewer gaps between products.
Proven in our own business first
We run most of this stack ourselves before we recommend it to anyone else.
In practiceIf it is not good enough for us, it is not good enough for our clients.

Read the case study01Are you vendor neutral?
Not completely, and that works in your favour. We standardise on a focused set of vendors so our engineers know them deeply. If you use a platform we do not list, we will tell you straight whether we can support it well.
02Can we buy hardware and licences through you?
Yes. We supply devices, networking equipment and software licensing, including Microsoft 365 on monthly or annual terms, and set everything up before it reaches your staff.
03Do we have to replace our existing tools?
No. We review what you have during onboarding. If a tool does its job and is supported, it stays. If it is a risk or costs more than it should, we explain why and what we would suggest instead.
04Who do we call when a vendor product fails?
Us. We triage the issue, log and manage the vendor case and keep you updated until it is resolved.
05Are you a 3CX partner?
Yes. We are a 3CX Platinum Partner and set up and support 3CX phone systems, along with Teams calling for businesses that prefer to stay inside Microsoft 365.
06Do you support Google Workspace as well as Microsoft 365?
Yes. We support both, and help businesses move between them when it makes sense.
