A level playing field for a decision you rarely make

IT companies often use the same words to describe very different services. This guide shows you what those promises mean, what a good provider should be able to prove and where the expensive traps hide.

  • Work out what your business actually needs before asking for quotes
  • Decode pricing, service lists and support promises
  • Spot contract, security and Microsoft 365 ownership traps
  • Use 40 practical questions in provider meetings
  • Compare quotes with the printable scorecard
  • Plan a switch without disrupting the business

Written for owners and managers of UK businesses with roughly 5–250 people. The questions work on us just as well as anyone else.
