Tech Leaders Have 5 Options. One Has Their Interests Built In.
Every hour spent on research, RFPs, and pricing comparisons is an hour not spent on strategy that moves your company forward. That's the true cost of the first four options.
Option 1: Trust Supplier Sales Reps
Every supplier sales rep has exactly one job: sell their company's product, whether or not it's the right fit for you. Many will say anything to hit quota. And reps change companies constantly, so the person who sold you the deal is rarely the person still there when you need support two months later. Zero incentive for honesty.
Option 2: Trust Traditional Consultants
Hourly consultants get paid more the longer an engagement runs, so the incentive points the wrong way. Many are also tied to a short list of supplier relationships they need to keep fed, which limits how neutral the advice actually is.
Option 3: Work With VARs and MSPs
Resellers and managed service providers can only sell and support what they're certified on, typically a handful of suppliers. That's not vendor neutrality, and it's a narrower version of the same bias.
Option 4: Do It Yourself
Technology now changes faster than most companies can make decisions. Good decisions requireheadcount most companies won't fund. Going it alone means becoming the market expert in multiple technologies, on top of your actual job, on a market that changes weekly.
Option 5: Lightstone Technology Advisor: The Truth
Lightstone puts in months of work at no cost to our clients before a purchase is made. If we get it wrong, we lose because we are profitable only if our clients come back. We get paid the same regardless of what supplier you choose. Our incentive is the same as yours: find the best fit, and keep it working for the next 10 years, not just get a deal signed.
