For CIOs and CTOs

Whole-of-market assurance, and a decision you can defend at board level

You do not need another vendor pitch. You need evidence that the whole market was assessed, that the process was clean, and that the commercial outcome stacks up.

Where you probably are

Sound familiar?

◆ A telephony decision that will outlast your current roadmap.
◆ An estate assembled by predecessors, with no single owner.
◆ A board asking for the AI answer before the platform answer.
◆ Procurement and probity requirements you cannot afford to fail.
◆ Internal recommendations that are hard to defend once vendor relationships are visible.
◆ A team already at capacity on projects that matter more.
Our answer

What we do for you

Whole of market, on the record

Every credible platform is assessed and scored, including vendors we hold no partnership with. You get the shortlist and the working that produced it.

A decision that survives scrutiny

Weighted scorecards, standardised pricing templates and documented requirements. When someone asks why this platform, the answer is already on paper.

Independence you can point to

No platform is worth more to us than another, and every recommendation ships with the scoring behind it. For probity-sensitive decisions, the consultancy model takes the final recommendation formally out of scope.

Delivery risk owned by one party

Certified Australian implementation, a named project manager, parallel running, rollback and two weeks of hypercare. One point of accountability instead of a vendor queue.

Straight talk

The two objections we hear most

“We have an incumbent we are happy with.”

Then a benchmark is the cheapest thing you can do. If your current setup is right, that is the recommendation you will get.

“This is a procurement exercise, not a strategy one.”

It is both. We run the procurement rigour so your team spends its time on architecture and change, not on scoring spreadsheets.

Proof

A diocese-wide programme, and the vendors who validate our independence.

“The team at TelcoDataCloud are very responsive and with their in-depth industry knowledge can create effective solutions that don’t cost the earth. They take out the complexity and industry jargon so decision makers understand what is on the table.”

Matt Kruschel

Thomas Foods International

“TelcoDataCloud has a great model, because it covers the entire delivery of the project through to getting it into BAU.”

Michael Norman

Catholic Education Diocese of Cairns

Three questions

Before you book anything

Won’t you just push your favourite vendor?

We do not have a favourite vendor. We have won awards with numerous vendors we work with, and that spread is the point: our only aim is the best fit solution for your needs at the best price.

Are you a reseller?

No. You sign directly with the vendor you choose. The contract, the pricing and the relationship are yours. We are the independent expert on your side of the table and act as a referral and sometimes implementation partner.

We already have an IT team, why would we need you?

Your team runs your technology; we run the vendor selection. Our requirements matrices, scorecards and pricing templates have been refined across dozens of engagements, so your team gets a faster, cleaner process without dropping their day jobs.

How we work

Two ways to engage us, and how to pick between them

Brokerage, where we compare the market and negotiate on your behalf. Or consultancy, a structured engagement with defined deliverables. Same independence, different shape. Start by picking the one that fits.

Brokerage

Guided end to end

Like a mortgage broker for cloud communications.

We shortlist the platforms that genuinely fit, sit on your side of the table through demos and negotiation, and you sign directly with the vendor you choose.

Consultancy

Scoped deliverables

A structured engagement, scoped by deliverables.

Structured RFP packages with requirements matrices, weighted scorecards and comparable pricing templates. The final vendor recommendation is formally out of scope, so your process stays clean.

About

Independent from the first day

TelcoDataCloud was founded in Adelaide in 2017 to give organisations something the market did not offer: whole-of-market advice on cloud communications from people who do not hold the contract.

Our story

Founded in Adelaide, 2017

Asa Grund started TelcoDataCloud after years on the vendor side of the table, watching organisations pick communications platforms with almost no independent help. The vendors had specialists. The customers had a brochure.

The model has not changed since. We gather the requirements, compare the market, negotiate the commercial detail and project-manage the migration. You sign directly with the vendor you choose, and we are still on the account long after go-live.

Today the team works across almost every sector, from super funds, school networks and councils to retailers, manufacturers, health services, professional services, sporting clubs, tourism operators and charities, in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Singapore. If an organisation runs phones, we have probably run the project.

Featured case study · Education

Catholic Education Diocese of Cairns

1,400 extensions across 28 schools in six months

{{ cm.v }} {{ cm.l }}

Challenge

The diocese needed to modernise telephony across a network of 30 schools. Requirements sat with school leaders and administrators spread right across the diocese, and replacing handsets at that scale put real pressure on capital budget.

Approach

Educational workshops with stakeholders across the diocese, then detailed requirements gathering. Six vendors were shortlisted and assessed through a weighted scoring model, with TelcoDataCloud supporting the diocese throughout its evaluation. Handsets were leased rather than bought.

Result

1,400 extensions deployed across 28 of the 30 schools in six months. 1,100 leased handsets in service with no capital expense. One partner from the first workshop through to business as usual.
