FAQs

What is a Technology Advisor for IT solutions, and how are you different from a reseller or VAR?

A reseller or Value-Added Reseller (VAR) is fundamentally a sales organization tied to specific vendors, with a primary goal of moving product. Opkalla is a vendor-neutral advisory firm. Our Technology Advisors work as an extension of your team, using data and expertise to identify your precise needs. We then help you select and procure the best solution, regardless of the vendor. Our goal is your optimal outcome, not a vendor's sale.
If you're free, what's the catch? How do you make money?

There is no catch. Our advisory services are free because we are compensated by vendors through standard, pre-negotiated distribution channels, much like a realtor is paid by the home seller. This model allows us to provide unbiased, vendor-neutral advice without charging our clients advisory fees. You get expert guidance at no direct cost, and we only get paid when you make a purchase you're happy with.
Why shouldn't I just go directly to the vendor (like Microsoft, AWS, or Cisco)?

Going directly to a vendor means you are engaging with a sales team whose mandate is to sell you their solution. They cannot provide objective comparisons to competitors' products. We provide an unbiased, holistic view of the entire market. We ensure the solution fits your technical requirements and business goals, and we handle the complex negotiation to secure the best possible terms and pricing on your behalf.

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."
