A recent project reminded me why the sourcing strategy matters as much as the provider.

Backup internet only works if it actually reduces the risk.

A second internet provider does not always mean true backup.

A Western New York food distributor needed backup fiber with a separate last mile and diverse building route.

The first option came back with six-figure construction costs.

Through our partner network, we found an option that met the same requirements with zero customer-funded construction costs.

The path matters.

So does the sourcing strategy.

Microsoft 365 pricing increased again this summer.

That makes the months leading up to renewal an important time to review more than just the new total.

NY CloudTech Advisors has added a new software procurement relationship that allows us to help organizations evaluate:

• Microsoft 365 pricing and license quantities
• Monthly versus annual commitments
• Unused or misaligned licenses
• Billing and support options
• Other recurring software costs

The relationship includes access to hundreds of software vendors, including Microsoft, Google Workspace, Adobe and Autodesk.

The review does not require changing your Microsoft environment. A current invoice or licensing summary is enough to get started.

If your organization has a renewal approaching, reach out to us for a complimentary comparison.

Great Spark Session today!

Thank you to Chris, Lindsey, and Warren for sharing practical advice with local small business owners.

The big takeaway: there are resources available, but business owners need to know where to look and who to ask.

Be sure to check out the Small Business Development Center, Monroe County Economic Development, and your local business banking expert if you are looking at funding, growth, or new opportunities.

Always happy to be part of these Chamber conversations.

If you own or manage several buildings, the bills can look reasonable one at a time.

Electricity.
Gas.
Water.
Waste.
Internet.
Phones.

But when you step back, the bigger picture may show:

• Different vendors
• Different contract dates
• Service overlap
• Usage changes nobody has explained

Sometimes the first step is simply putting the bills next to each other and looking at the full picture.

Most businesses review insurance, payroll, and vendor contracts.

Utility bills often just get paid.

But electricity, gas, water, and waste invoices can include:

• Billing errors
• Outdated service levels
• Unexpected usage changes
• Contracts that have not been reviewed
• Costs that no longer match the business

A review can start with one or two recent bills.

The goal is not to promise savings before looking.

It is to understand what you are paying for and whether anything deserves a closer look.

Owning or managing several buildings creates a lot of recurring expenses.

Electricity.
Gas.
Water.
Waste.
Internet.
Phones.

The challenge is that each bill may look reasonable by itself.

The bigger picture can still include:

• Different vendors
• Different contract dates
• Service overlap
• Usage changes nobody has explained

Sometimes the first step is simply putting the bills next to each other and looking at the full picture.
