Convergence vs. separate vendors: the cost comparison
A clean one-page PDF you can email to your CFO, drop into a board deck, or hand a colleague who is tired of juggling vendors.
Rings Jonathan and the team 24x7.
We compare prices from 400+ carriers and platforms.
What it is
The sharpest cost breakdown on our site, packaged as a branded one-pager. It compares a fragmented IT and telecom setup against a converged single-team approach, and it ends with a total monthly cost line for a typical 50-user mid-market Ohio company.
There's no sales pitch and no follow-up sequence. Leave your email so we know the PDF got to the right person. We'll also send Jonathan's Take, a weekly note of about 200 words with real Ohio telecom stories. You can unsubscribe with one click. That's all you're signing up for.
The seven factors it compares
Use these to grade any technology partner, including us.
- Number of invoices you process every month.
- Who is accountable when something breaks between systems.
- Contract alignment and renewal timing across vendors.
- Ownership: whose name is on the contracts.
- Tooling overlap and duplicate licenses.
- Where you have room to negotiate with carriers.
- Total monthly cost for a typical 50-user mid-market Ohio company.
