What We Do
IT Solutions Evaluations.
Find the best business technology solutions in a vast, constantly evolving marketplace, with a clear path to shortlisting, pricing, and decision support.
Technology solutions for business only pay off when requirements, vendors, and the service model align. Our advisors drive that alignment to get there faster.
FIND THE BEST SOLUTIONS
A partner in selecting the best IT solutions for your business.
Our Technology Advisors work with IT teams to identify gaps in existing systems, research vendors, compare features and pricing, and drive decisions with documented tradeoffs. We evaluate business and technology solutions across your priorities, then map options to implementation realities like security, integrations, staffing, and timeline. The outcome is a shortlist you can defend, not a pile of tabs and opinions.
We approach applied business and technology solutions the way a strong business technology solutions analyst would. That means defining success metrics, scoring vendors against requirements, validating integrations, then comparing pricing and terms before you commit.

FAQs
IT Solutions ReimagineD
IT advisory is different with Opkalla.
We’ve reimagined how IT teams get expert support in making crucial technology decisions for their business.
Unlike many IT consultants and vendors, our Technology Advisory services are completed at zero cost to our clients.
We can do this because we get paid by technology providers when we help clients make decisions they are happy with, based on our recommendations.
"Excellent team to work with!"
"In a world of vendors clamoring to sell you something or provide a new service, it's refreshing to work with a company like Opkalla who listens and understands your business in an effort to help you find the right solutions. One of the best parts about working with Opkalla is that they're vendor agnostic, so there's no leaning one way or the other when making a suggestion. They simply bring options to you and allow you to determine what works best for what you're looking for."

"Opkalla's become a trusted advisor."
"Opkalla's become a trusted advisor to where I don't need to question if there's an ulterior motive. I know that they want what's best and they're in it for the long haul. In Microsoft 365 and Azure licenses alone, they're saving us $156,000 dollars annually."

"With Opkalla, I know when I have a need, it is going to be taken care of."
“One of the best things about Opkalla is their ability to bring me through the Solutions Evaluations process and say, 'That's not a good fit, let's go back and find somebody else and keep trying until we get it right.' With Opkalla, I know when I have a need, it is going to be taken care of."

"Opkalla is great to work with."
“Opkalla is great to work with. They are genuinely good people. There’s no high pressure to make a decision one way or another. If it’s the right solution, it’s the right solution. I also love that I can have one point of contact with Opkalla and not have to sort through hundreds of emails from different vendors."
