Resilient IT requires Resilient Partners
As a former CIO, John Ahlberg has worked with many technology vendors over his career. His experience has shaped Waident’s approach to service delivery, sales and marketing, and the vendors with whom we choose to work. We don’t have time for BS and the clients who choose us don’t have time for it either. Our clients are pragmatic business people and they want pragmatic answers to their questions and proven solutions to their problems.
We have very specific criteria for our partners:
Company Strength
We want partners that demonstrate financial strength, long-term viability, and the resources to support our clients over time.
Strategic Alignment
We want partners that share our vision for IT and its purpose. So, we make sure that our partners are simpatico with our view of IT and our business—more importantly, our clients’ businesses.
Process-focused
We have rigorous processes. We choose vendors with similar rigor and processes that complement and/or strengthen our processes.
Best of Breed
We want partners that provide the best product of its type and deliver the results we expect. We do not choose partners for popularity, all-in-one integration/simplicity, or sales perks.
Demonstrated Results
Analyst accolades are important but we choose partners that have demonstrated results in our clients’ industries, business sizes, and cultures.

The bottom line
The goal of our partnerships is the same as our goal for your business—keep your people productive, the enterprise running, and your data safe.
Keep People Productive
The whole point of technology is to make work easier, faster, and more cost-effective. Employee productivity affects key business metrics such as operational costs, revenue, and client satisfaction.
Keep the Enterprise Running
When IT is down, work doesn’t just become harder, slower, and expensive. It comes to a standstill. No orders, no customer service, No revenue.
Keep Data Safe
Customers, prospects, and regulators expect and demand that personal data be kept safe. But, hackers don’t just attack to get SSNs and credit card #s. Business leaders need to protect their own key operating data as well (inventory, IoT, contracts, etc.).
