Advice from both sides of the table.
StrategIQ IT helps businesses improve customer experience, put AI to practical use, and make better technology investments, from connectivity and cloud to security and managed services.
As the customer
Brian Friedopfer has been responsible for systems, budgets and business operations. He has lived with the consequences of a technology decision: whether it fits the business, whether people can use it, who supports it and what it costs to operate.
As the provider
As an executive building technology practices, he has seen how solutions are positioned, proposals are structured, commercial terms are negotiated and delivery responsibilities are organized.
That experience helps StrategIQ IT look beyond product demonstrations and attractive rates to examine business fit, provider incentives, total cost and accountability. The goal is simple: to do right by customers.
