For Episode 220 of Amplify Your Business, we’re joined by Brice Ulrey, the Managing Partner at Opkalla. Opkalla is an IT trusted advisory firm. Opkalla lives in the IT reseller space, but does things a little differently than your typical IT reseller. What they’re trying to do is solve the problem of biased agendas in their space. They consider themselves “vendor neutral.” Where most IT resellers have 20 to 30 vendors in their portfolio, Opkalla boasts over 300 different providers. Instead of singing the same old song that each solution that solves a business problem has only one provider to solve it, Opkalla brings two to three providers to the table and allows their customers to evaluate each one before deciding which one to go with.
