An independent advisor, built to fix one problem.

The Deady Group is an independent technology and growth advisory in Boston. We help organizations make the telecom, cloud, security, and AI decisions that are expensive to get wrong, and we sit on your side of the table while they are made.

Meet the founder.

Will Deady spent ten years on the commercial and operations side of enterprise technology at S&P Global, S3 Partners, Everbridge, and Brainshark: selling it, advising on it, and building the operations behind it. He saw the same problem in almost every deal: the person recommending the technology was compensated to sell it. He founded The Deady Group in 2025 to give companies an advisor whose incentives match their own.

He is a Certified AOTMP Efficiency First Executive Advisor, serves on the board of the Revere Chamber of Commerce, and writes Signals & Systems. He is the person a client calls when something on an engagement is not right.

How the firm is compensated is in writing before you decide anything. Here's how that works, and the Transparency Standard behind it.

RevereBeach.com homepage after the rebuild
Named case · Revere, Massachusetts

RevereBeach.com

A site online since 1997, with more than 1,100 pages, rebuilt as a local platform: a business directory, an events calendar, a news feed, and site search, none of which existed before.

Visitors more than doubled in the first three weeks, in the off-season. Google search clicks up 126%. Front Door Grade from D- to A+.

Our own advisory work

We recommended they build it themselves.

A membership organization had a proposal in hand for a commercial platform. Costed over the term, the internal build fit better and left them owning their data.

The recommendation earned the firm nothing.

Ecosystem outcome · anonymized

The incumbent consultant could not find the savings.

A global payments company's cloud costs kept rising. A two-week assessment by a specialist on our bench found what the incumbent had missed.

20 percent cut in cloud cost, with visibility in place afterward.

Diagnosis before prescription. Every time.

Four steps. The economics are on the table before the second one ends, and we don't disappear after the third.

How we work: diagnose, decide, deliver, then oversee, with the last step repeating each year 1. Diagnose: A thirty-minute conversation, then the Review or the assessment that fits. The problem gets named before anyone talks about a fix, and sometimes the answer is that nothing needs to change. 2. Decide: What we found, what we recommend, and who compensates us if you go ahead, all in writing. You see all three before you decide anything. 3. Deliver: Specialists from our bench do the work, and the firm answers for the result. You have one relationship, not five vendors. 4. Oversee: We read the results at 14, 28 and 90 days. Then once a year we rerun your Review and tell you whether what you have still fits. Every year 1 Diagnose A thirty-minute conversation,then the Review or theassessment that fits.

Three questions, answered plainly.

The ones we hear before almost every first conversation.

Who compensates The Deady Group?

Usually the provider you choose, on a disclosed commission, so there's often no direct fee to you. For growth, go-to-market and website work we deliver ourselves, you are, on a disclosed fee. Either way, it's in writing before any work starts.

What does an independent technology advisor do?

Finds the actual problem, weighs the options without a product to sell, and brings in the specialists who do the work. The specialists execute, but the advisor stays accountable for the result.

Is the Digital Presence & Technology Review really free?

Yes, for a limited time. It's the same eight-area, 22-page review we prepare for paying clients, and it's the clearest way to see how we work. There's no obligation afterward.

Begin with the diagnosis.

The Digital Presence & Technology Review is the fastest way to see how we work, and it costs nothing. If the situation is already clear, start a conversation instead.
