Connectivity Consulting

We define the requirements and design the solution. You buy it from whoever wins.

Vendor-neutral by design Named engagements Signed deliverables

Illustrated multi-site connectivity between locations

The call

Three carriers, three proposals, and no common requirements to compare them against.

Eleven sites, and one of them is a plant that cannot go dark. Or a dealership group that grew by acquisition. Or a clinic network where every location was ordered by a different manager in a different year. The quotes do not line up either: one is priced per site, another bundles the router, a third says nothing about diversity. The renewal clock is six weeks out.

Your team knows exactly what it wants. What it does not have is a spare month to write the requirements, normalize the bids, and read every contract line. That’s the part we do.

What you get

Everything you need to put it out to bid.

Requirements documents

Sites, applications, bandwidth targets, latency tolerance, diversity needs and install windows, written up as a set your request for proposal (RFP) can be built on. Every bidder ends up answering the same questions.

Carrier comparison matrices

Every proposal normalized onto one page: monthly and non-recurring cost, term, the service level agreement (SLA) and its credits, install interval, hand-off, and what each carrier quietly left out.

SD-WAN and circuit designs

Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) and circuit design, multi-site and branch topology diagrams, and bandwidth sizing with the math shown. Documented well enough that your engineers can build from it without calling us.

Diversity analysis and contract review

Failover and path-diversity analysis, which is how you find the two “redundant” circuits riding the same fiber into the same building. We also read the paperwork before you sign it: terms, SLAs, auto-renewals and early-termination exposure.

How we work

Requirements, design, bid package, done.

A named lead and a written scope

A named lead engineer, the decision you actually need to make, and a dated list of deliverables. All of it in writing before the work starts.
Two to six weeks, usually

Requirements, then design, then the bid package. Most connectivity work runs two to six weeks. The engagement ends when the bid package is in your hands.
One session to hand it over

We close with a handoff session where your team asks whatever it wants. Longer advisory work is scoped the same way, one deliverable and one date at a time, and it ends when the last of them is handed over.

Why independent matters

Vendor-neutral means the requirement comes first.

We write the requirement before anybody quotes it, built around your sites and applications rather than around one carrier’s footprint. Every proposal is then measured against that same document, and where the carrier you already have meets the requirement at a site, the comparison says so.

Engagements are named and attributable. We do not sub-contract our name away, and no reseller gets to present our comparison as its own work. On a carrier decision, the name behind the comparison is part of the evidence. Ours is a document you can put in front of a CFO, a board, or the incumbent’s account team.

Where we hand off

When the design calls for voice.

Where a design calls for SIP trunking or voice connectivity, our sister division IZT CLOUD provides those services. IZT TECH advises, IZT CLOUD provides, and when the answer belongs to them we say so rather than stretching. We write the requirement, and you place the order with whoever wins it.
