One accountable firm, and a deep bench behind it.

The Deady Group is the relationship you deal with and the firm that answers for the result. Behind it are supplier ecosystems, delivery benches, and subject-matter experts who carry out the work under our direction. This page says who they are and how each relationship is paid for.

Supplier ecosystems.

Three ecosystems carry most of the supplier access behind our recommendations. Each gets equal weight here because each plays a different part.

AVANT

Market intelligence and advisory platform

Lets us compare suppliers across categories without starting from a blank page, with access to a wide distribution of enterprise technology suppliers.

Telarus

Technology services brokerage

A broad supplier set and support ecosystem, with pricing leverage a single company buying alone would not have.

AppDirect

Cloud and SaaS marketplace

Pre-vetted cloud and software suppliers, purchased through one channel with commerce infrastructure behind it.

An ecosystem or a supplier may compensate The Deady Group when a client proceeds. When one does, you are told which and how, in writing, before you decide. See How We're Paid and the Transparency Standard.

We also take part in affiliate and partner programs through PartnerStack. They are covered in the Affiliate Disclosure.

Suppliers reachable through these ecosystems.

A sample of well-known suppliers available through at least one of them. These are suppliers we can bring to a comparison. They are not clients, and their appearance here is not an endorsement.

  • Arctic Wolf
  • eSentire
  • Veracode
  • Koi
  • Cato Networks
  • Lumen
  • Megaport
  • Comcast Business
  • T-Mobile
  • Equinix
  • TierPoint
  • Rackspace
  • Zoom
  • RingCentral
  • Dialpad
  • Krisp
  • Yellow.ai

Names and marks belong to their owners. Each supplier was confirmed in an ecosystem's public directory.

How a recommendation is sourced.

The ecosystems widen the market. The order keeps it honest.

How a recommendation is sourced 1. Requirement: Written with you before any supplier is named 2. Whole market: Suppliers drawn from all three ecosystems and beyond 3. One sheet: Every option scored the same way, the incumbent and doing nothing included 4. Disclosure: Which options would pay us, and how, in writing 5. Delivery: Carried by the right bench, with accountability staying with us 1 Requirement Written with youbefore any supplier isnamed 2 Whole market Suppliers drawn fromall three ecosystemsand beyond 3 One sheet Every option scoredthe same way, theincumbent and doingnothing included 4 Disclosure Which options wouldpay us, and how, inwriting 5 Delivery Carried by the rightbench, withaccountability stayingwith us

Research on technology advisors as a group, not results specific to The Deady Group.

Delivery benches.

The work is carried out by specialists we have selected and remain accountable for.

Technology advisory. A dedicated advisory bench carries the day-to-day of a technology decision: evaluation, sourcing, negotiation support, and implementation oversight. Cloud architecture, cybersecurity engineering, network and connectivity, and AI and automation specialists come from this bench and the ecosystems above.

Growth and go-to-market. York IE is our go-to-market bench, and a referral partner. It is an investment and operating firm for technology companies that carries growth work under our direction.

  • One relationship, whoever carries the work
  • Specialists selected for the engagement, not the other way round
  • Problems escalate to us, not to a ticket queue

What we will not do.

Drawn from the Client-First Transparency Standard.

  • Take compensation from a provider without telling you which one, and how the arrangement works, before you decide.
  • Put you in front of a sales process you did not ask for, or give a provider your contact details without your agreement.
  • Describe a partner as more in-house than it is. The firm is founder-led and delivers through benches and ecosystems, and says so.
  • Recommend a provider because of a relationship. When the right answer is to keep what you have, that is the recommendation.

Three ways to start.

Pick the one that matches where you are. None of them costs anything.
