# C2XCEL

> Veteran-owned (SDVOSB), vendor-neutral technology advisory firm helping CIOs and CFOs reduce IT spend by 20–35%, eliminate vendor complexity, and align technology decisions to measurable business outcomes — without vendor bias.

C2XCEL is a U.S.-based, NaVOBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business led by founder Jim McNeese. We act as an independent advisor between buyers and 580+ vetted technology providers, providing strategy, procurement, implementation oversight, and ongoing account support — at no direct cost to the client in most engagements (we are compensated by providers, but remain vendor-neutral in recommendations).

## What We Do
- IT cost optimization and contract/invoice audits (typical savings: 15–30%)
- Vendor selection and procurement across 580+ providers
- Technology strategy and roadmapping aligned to business outcomes
- Implementation oversight and project coordination
- Ongoing dedicated account support with quarterly business reviews

## Solution Domains
- Artificial Intelligence (AI advisory, readiness, roadmapping)
- Cloud (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, hybrid, migration)
- Cybersecurity (strategy, MDR, SASE, compliance)
- Unified Communications (UCaaS, voice, collaboration)
- Contact Center (CCaaS, AI-enabled CX)
- Customer Experience (CX strategy and platforms)
- Networking & Connectivity (SD-WAN, dedicated internet, MPLS)
- Mobility (enterprise mobility, IoT connectivity)
- IoT & Edge (sensors, edge compute, connected devices)

## Who We Serve
CIOs, CFOs, and CEOs at mid-market and enterprise organizations across healthcare, financial services, legal, logistics, retail, manufacturing, professional services, hospitality, and the public sector.

## Why Vendor-Neutral Matters
Traditional VARs and resellers are incentivized to sell specific products. C2XCEL evaluates solutions across 580+ providers and recommends what is best for the client — not what generates the highest commission. Recommendations are documented and defensible.

## Our Process (6 Steps)
1. Discovery Call (60–90 min, no sales pitch)
2. Inventory and Audit of contracts, invoices, and vendor relationships
3. Strategy & Recommendations with prioritized roadmap
4. Vendor Selection & Procurement from 580+ providers
5. Implementation Support and project coordination
6. Ongoing Dedicated Account Support with quarterly reviews
