Connectivity & Technology Sourcing
The Right Technology. The Right Provider. The Right Economics.
Simplify Your Technology Environment
Managing technology across a large multi-site footprint shouldn't mean managing dozens of disconnected providers, contracts and solutions.
Connext Advisory helps enterprises evaluate, source and optimize connectivity and technology solutions across every location — without being locked into a single carrier, platform or provider.
From broadband and SD-WAN to cloud, communications, mobility and security, we help you make better technology decisions and turn them into scalable operating environments.
Enterprise Connectivity Without the Complexity
Connectivity is the foundation of virtually every technology operating inside your locations.
But national footprints create a unique challenge: the best provider in one market may not be the best provider in another.
Connext Advisory helps organizations evaluate connectivity across their entire footprint and develop a more manageable enterprise strategy.
Advisory capabilities include:
-
Broadband and internet sourcing
-
Broadband aggregation
-
Primary and secondary connectivity
-
Carrier evaluation and selection
-
SD-WAN and global connectivity
-
Cybersecurity advisory
-
Circuit lifecycle management
-
POTS replacement
-
Connectivity consolidation and optimization
Instead of managing the market location by location, we help you look at connectivity as a single enterprise environment.
Communications, Cloud & Data Center
Connext Advisory helps organizations evaluate the platforms and providers that support communication, collaboration, applications and infrastructure.
Communications & Cloud
-
UCaaS and enterprise communications
-
Cloud infrastructure and services
-

-
Multi-cloud strategy
-
Colocation and data center solutions
-
Provider and contract evaluation
We help define requirements, evaluate available options and navigate the technical and commercial differences between providers.
Mobility & Cybersecurity
Large multi-site organizations must also manage an expanding ecosystem of users, mobile devices, networks, applications and security requirements.
Connext Advisory can help evaluate:
-
Managed mobility solutions
-
Wireless carrier programs
-
Mobile device and plan optimization
-
Cybersecurity providers and platforms
-
Security strategy and solution alternatives

Managed security options
The goal isn't to add another vendor. It's to simplify the environment and select solutions that fit the way your organization actually operates.
A Smarter Technology Sourcing Process
1. Understand the Environment
We assess your footprint, existing providers, contracts, technologies, requirements and future plans.
2. Define the Strategy
We identify gaps, opportunities and the technical and commercial requirements a solution needs to meet.
3. Evaluate the Market
We identify appropriate providers and solutions and compare their capabilities, coverage, economics and contractual terms.
4. Negotiate & Select
We help benchmark pricing, evaluate proposals and negotiate a solution aligned with your requirements.
5. Implement & Manage
Where appropriate, Connext can coordinate the transition from technology selection into deployment, installation, field execution and ongoing lifecycle support.
From Technology Selection to Every Location
Selecting the right technology doesn't guarantee a successful rollout.
Execution does.
Connext combines technology advisory with the ability to deploy and support infrastructure across hundreds or thousands of locations nationwide.
That means your strategy doesn't have to be handed from an advisor to a provider to an integrator to a field services company.
Connext can help connect the entire lifecycle:
Strategy → Sourcing → Site Readiness → Deployment → Validation → Managed Services
One strategy. One accountable execution model. Every location.
