Aspire Partners Common questions

Technology audit

Find out what your business is actually paying for technology.

Phones, internet, cloud, cybersecurity. Most businesses have never had anyone compare what they pay against what the market offers. We do that comparison across more than 900 suppliers, and it costs you nothing.

No cost, no obligation, no requirement to change providers.

The problem

Nobody in your building has time to audit this.

You run on technology and you have for years. Contracts got signed, renewed, and signed again. Providers were added as you grew. Nobody was ever handed the job of checking whether any of it is still competitive, because it is nobody's actual job.

Meanwhile the providers you buy from have no reason to tell you when a better rate exists. That is not a scandal. It is just how the market works when the buyer has no way to see across it.

What we look at

One comparison across everything you run on.

We pull data centers, cloud, connectivity and cybersecurity into one account rather than looking at each line in isolation. That matters, because the savings usually sit in the overlap: services you pay two providers for, capacity you stopped using, contracts that renewed at a rate the market moved past.

We are completely vendor neutral. We do not represent a provider and we are not steering you toward one. Our comparison is worldwide, so it works for a business anywhere.

How it works

Three steps, and you are only
involved in the first one.

One

You share what you currently have.

Invoices and contracts. That is the whole ask on your side.

Two

We compare.

More than 900 suppliers, measured against what you are running today.

Three

We show you what we found.

If there is nothing worth acting on, we tell you that. If there is, the research, quotes, negotiation, install and support are all handled for you.

On average businesses uncover 15 to 30 percent in technology savings, and often come out faster and more secure than they were.

If it costs nothing, who is paying?

The suppliers do. It costs you nothing, and we are paid by the suppliers rather than by you.

We know how that sounds, so here is the part that matters: we are vendor neutral, which means we are not paid more for steering you to one provider over another. If the best answer for you is to stay exactly where you are, that is the answer you get.

This is the question almost every business asks first, and you should ask it. Any firm that will not answer it plainly is worth walking away from.

When businesses come to us

Most people call us
when something changes.

  • Moving offices or opening a new location
  • Growing headcount faster than the infrastructure was built for
  • Downsizing or consolidating sites
  • A contract coming up for renewal
  • Slow internet, frequent outages or support that has stopped responding
  • An acquisition or a merger
  • A new finance or operations lead auditing what the business spends

If none of those apply and things are running fine, there is still usually something to find. But these are the moments when it is worth your attention.

Questions people ask first

Straight answers.

Worth an hour to find out.

Send us what you are paying now. We will tell you what we find, including if the answer is that you are already in good shape.
