02 — Process
Good tech starts with a blueprint.
We're called Arkitexts for a reason. Every engagement follows the same four phases, and you can stop after any of them at no cost.
Survey
A free assessment of what you have, what it costs, and what isn't working. We ask if you even need something new.
Blueprint
The options that truly fit your needs, side by side, with negotiated pricing passed straight through. Ready on your timeline, not ours.
Build
We negotiate, run the RFP if you need one, and manage the rollout with the provider so nothing falls through.
Maintain
Escalations, renewals, and regular reviews for as long as you're a client. We don't disappear.
What you get
The right solution first. Then the best price.
Cheap and wrong costs more in the end. So we start with what your business actually needs, and only then negotiate the price down.
The right fit
Most importantMatched to your requirements, how your team works, the tools you already use, and where you're headed. Not to whoever pays the most.
Real savings
We fight for every dollar on your behalf and pass every discount through. We don’t stop at a good deal. We stop when there’s nothing left to get. We work for you, not the vendors.
Your needs
| Option | Fit | vs. today | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Option A | −18% | Meets every need, term matched to your plans | |
| Option B | −26% | Cheapest, but can't scale to new locations | |
| Option C | −11% | No Teams integration, business-hours support |
Our recommendation: Option A. It's not the cheapest, but it's the only one that does everything you need, and it still saves 18%.
03 — Support
Success isn't the signature.
Signing isn't the finish line. That's when we get to work.
Vendor escalations
Service issue? Call us. We chase the provider so you don't sit on hold.
Renewal alerts
We start flagging renewals at least 90 days out, before anything auto-renews at a higher rate.
Annual cost review
A written summary of your contracts, renewal dates, and savings found.
Lifetime network review
We keep checking your setup against what's new, at no cost.
Changes and adds
New office, new hires, new lines. One email to us and it's handled.
Same team, every time
No ticket queue, no rotating reps. You know who picks up.
Side by side
A typical broker vs. Arkitexts.
| Typical broker | Arkitexts | |
|---|---|---|
| Who pays | Can include fees or mark-ups | Vendors. You pay $0. |
| Architecture & design | Billed as "consulting" | Free, start to finish |
| Vendor bias | Can be shaped by vendor incentives | Same commission from all. No favorites. |
| Quotas & bonuses | Quarterly quotas and SPIFFs steer what you're shown | No quotas or SPIFFs chased. Only fit counts. |
| Who you talk to | Varies by firm | The same person, start to finish |
| Contract length | Whatever term suits the vendor | 1 year or 5 — whichever fits your plans |
| Do you need it? | Rarely asked | Always our first question |
| After you sign | Often ends at signing | Escalations, renewals, lifetime reviews |

Straight talk
Fair questions, straight answers.
You're small. Can you really get the same pricing?
Yes. Providers set pricing for your account, not for the broker. What a vendor pays us never changes our recommendation, so providers compete for your business on price — and we pass every discount through.
What if I've already picked a vendor?
We'll give you a free second opinion before you sign. If it's the right call, great. If not, you'll know why.
Will you take over our IT?
No. We extend your team; we don't replace it. It's your operation, and you set the service levels.
Is there really no cost to me?
None. The provider you choose pays us a commission, the same one they'd pay any advisor. No consulting fees, no mark-ups.
Start with a free evaluation. It costs you nothing.
