ALIGNED TECHNOLOGY ADVISERS USE CASES

Make Data-Driven Cybersecurity Purchasing Decisions

Use third-party testing to identify the best-fit products for your security and tech stack.

Why it matters: Make fast, objective product decisions based on data instead of vendor claims.

Validate Tech Stack Protection Against Threats

Ensure your tech stack addresses known and emerging threats.

Why it matters: Avoid coverage gaps and ensure your tools meet the enterprise’s threat
protection standards.

Consolidate Redundant Products

Eliminate overlapping products to reduce costs and complexity.

Why it matters: Reduce cost and simplify management of the security stack.

Harmonize Production Environments

Test and replace disruptive, buggy, or unstable products to eliminate operational disruptions.

Why it matters: Identify products that cause production issues—like backup software that freezes operations—and implement alternatives that maintain key features without disruptions. Test data provides clear recommendations on which tools can support stability while preserving functionality.

Streamline Cybersecurity Renewals

Utilize security expertise and global scale to streamline renewals.

Why it matters: Gain support for quoting, licensing disputes, and renewal negotiations, while challenging vendor price hikes with independent testing data.

Simplify Vendor Management with VAR Consolidation

Combine the benefits of a nimble VAR with the scale of a global partner.

Why it matters: Reduce supplier complexity while leveraging the bulk purchasing power and support infrastructure of a large VAR.
