Buy technology with an unfair advantage.

A technology advisor is an independent expert who helps a business evaluate and purchase technology from many competing suppliers, and who is paid by the suppliers rather than by the buyer. Instead of running one sales process per vendor, you work with one advisor who knows the whole market, gathers the quotes, benchmarks pricing, and puts suppliers in competition. Software Results advises across 15+ technology categories through direct relationships with 600+ suppliers.

Nothing. Software Results is paid by the supplier you choose, out of the same channel budget that would otherwise fund that supplier's own sales team. You never receive an invoice from us, and there is no contract or minimum commitment required to work with an advisor.

No. You pay the same price or better than buying alone, and your contract is signed directly with the supplier, never with us. Suppliers price identically whether their own sales team or an independent advisor brings the deal, and because we benchmark every quote and put suppliers in competition, you negotiate from a far stronger position than a single quote gives you.

Suppliers pay advisors a commission on the services a client purchases, the same way they fund their own sales teams. Every major technology supplier budgets for this channel. The commission is not added to your price, and because we represent 600+ suppliers rather than one, no single vendor owns our recommendation.

A consultant bills you for time; an advisor costs you nothing and is paid by the supplier market. Consultants typically deliver recommendations and leave sourcing to you. An advisor runs the sourcing itself: shortlists, quotes, and negotiation. Many clients use both, and we regularly work alongside consultants and internal IT teams.

You do buy directly from the vendor either way; what changes is what you know going in. Alone, the only expert involved is paid to win the deal, not to compare it: you see one vendor's pricing, one vendor's roadmap, and one vendor's version of the truth. An advisor puts the market in competition: multiple quotes, benchmark pricing, and suppliers that know they are being compared.

We advise across 15+ categories: connectivity and networks, UCaaS and business voice, CCaaS and contact center, cybersecurity, cloud and infrastructure, managed IT services, data center and colocation, SD-WAN and SASE, mobility and IoT, AI and CX automation, SaaS and business apps, expense management, BPO, and physical security. If it runs your business and comes with a contract, we can source it.

No, we make them faster. Your team keeps running the environment and owns every decision; we take the market research, quoting, and negotiation off their plate. IT leaders use us so their engineers do not spend weeks in discovery calls with sales reps.
