Trust

We've been hearing from our clients that they don't know who to trust anymore for unbiased opinions when they're in the market for an enterprise IT solution. Here's what they've been telling us:
  • The "independent" IT research firms cannot be trusted anymore once it's known that it is possible for a vendor to commission a report substantiating virtually any claim the vendor wants to make.
  • IT publications are afraid to pan vendors because they potentially lose out on lucrative advertising dollars from those same vendors.
  • "Vendor neutral" consultants are often not as neutral as they claim to be, because many vendor partnerships are established as a result of the consultant's desire to maximize billable hours and reseller revenue.

Welcome to a different approach

Itrium establishes its vendor relationships using the following approach:
  • Our technical staff thoroughly researches the technology behind a product
  • We evaluate the product's potential for smooth integration into our clients' environments
  • We consider products that simplify technology needs and allow focus on business requirements
  • Products which exhibit "best-of-breed" characteristics are added to our short list
  • Only when a product has been thoroughly vetted internally do we approach the vendor to establish a relationship

Itrium doesn't claim to be vendor neutral, because we're not. There are many competing solutions, and all are not created equally. We save you the time and aggravation of researching the competitive landscape, sifting through conflicting vendor claims, selecting a tool with uncertainty as to its viability and risk of failure, and bringing your internal staff up to speed on new technology in parallel with its rollout to your users.

Itrium has already researched the competitive landscape, and has singled out best-of-breed tools. We will only recommend a particular approach once we understand your environment, and we guarantee success in implementation because:

  • we have done it many times before, and
  • you'll get a project-based price instead of an hourly rate.
Once we have completed the implementation, we train your staff to successfully maintain the new system using a best practices approach to achieving real business results.
