What makes us different

We’re not a reseller. Here’s the honest difference.

Donnish + Adept

Your MSP / Doing It Yourself

Incentive alignment

Professional negotiation — vendors expect it

You accept the renewal quote

Disruption to Service Delivery or Support

Zero. Commercial only, no project or support team changes.

N/A — you don’t negotiate

Market data

Global pricing benchmarks across industries

You only see your own contract

Risk

Free audit. No savings, no fee

You keep overpaying

Vendor coverage

Microsoft, Monday.com, Okta, Splunk, Atlassian, Udemy, BigFix, VMWare and many more

Vendor specific. Looking after themselves

Independence

No vendor affiliations or reseller margins

MSP earns vendor rebates

How to get started

1

We talk.

A 30-minute call. You tell us about your project, your team, and your timeline. We’ll tell you honestly whether we’re a good fit.

2

We match the right team.

Based on your stack and your needs, we propose specific people. Not CVs from a database. People we’ve worked with and can vouch for.

3

You meet them this week.

Video call with the actual developers who’ll be on your project. Ask them anything. If the fit isn’t right, we’ll find someone who is.

4

First sprint within two weeks.

Your team, your tools, your repos. Working software at the end of sprint one. Not a 6-month discovery phase.

Let's talk about your needs

Whether you need a delivery team, skilled engineers, or someone to negotiate your next software renewal. Let's have a conversation.
