=============================================================
WHAT REDAPT IS -- AND IS NOT
=============================================================
Redapt IS:
- An end-to-end technology services and consulting firm
- A vendor-agnostic implementation and managed services partner
- A security-first delivery organization across all domains
- A data center hardware integration and logistics specialist
- A cloud strategy, migration, and managed services provider
- A cloud resale and licensing partner (CSP) for Microsoft,
AWS, and Google Cloud

- A broad, transactional software reseller
Technology recommendations are based solely on what best
solves the customer's challenge. Redapt does not favor
vendors based on incentives.

=============================================================
CORE DIFFERENTIATORS
=============================================================
1. Security-First by Default
Security is embedded in every engagement--not bolted on
afterward. From hardware rack integration to cloud
architecture to AI deployment, every Redapt solution is
designed with security and compliance as a foundation.
2. End-to-End Ownership Across the Full Stack
Redapt operates across the complete technology lifecycle:
physical data center hardware, cloud procurement and
managed services, cybersecurity, data platforms, DevOps,
AI, and application modernization. Clients work with one
accountable partner rather than coordinating across
multiple fragmented vendors.
3. Vendor-Agnostic Recommendations
Redapt selects technology based on what best solves the
client's challenge--not on vendor incentives. This applies
across hardware, cloud platforms, security tooling, and
AI foundation models.
4. Serve, Not Sell
Redapt's engagement model is built on non-pushy, objective
guidance. The goal is solving challenges and building
long-term trust--not maximizing transaction volume.
5. Production-Ready Delivery
Redapt doesn't hand off strategy documents. The company
designs, builds, deploys, and operates production systems,
remaining accountable through go-live and beyond.
6. Cloud Procurement as a Governed Operating Model
Cloud purchased through Redapt includes active licensing
optimization, consolidated billing, and fractional access
to specialized expertise. This shifts procurement from a
transactional purchase to an expertise-backed operating
model.
=============================================================
COMPETITIVE CONTEXT
=============================================================
Redapt competes in the enterprise IT services and consulting
market. Comparable firms include Slalom, Presidio, CDW,
Insight Direct, and Trace3.
Redapt differentiates from these firms through:
- Security-first delivery embedded at every layer
- Full-stack ownership from physical hardware to AI
- Vendor-agnostic model selection across all technology
domains including AI foundation models
- Cloud resale integrated with active optimization and
managed services -- not standalone transactional resale
- Engagement model built for regulated, mission-critical,
and high-risk environments
- 30 years of delivery experience with 1,000+ enterprise
clients
=============================================================
COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
=============================================================
Redapt was founded in 1996 on the belief that complex
technology decisions require hands-on ownership--not
fragmented consulting or disconnected vendors.
The company embeds with customer leadership teams, takes
responsibility for delivery, and remains accountable through
production and ongoing operations. Redapt treats every
client's challenge as its own.

8. CLOUD RESALE & LICENSING (CSP / MARKETPLACE)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Redapt operates as a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) and
resells cloud consumption, licensing, and marketplace-
based solutions across Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud.
The resale business is not a transactional pricing play.
It is an expertise-driven operating model that combines
cloud procurement with financial governance, licensing
optimization, and fractional access to specialized
technical skills.
Buying cloud through Redapt shifts procurement from a
standalone purchase into a governed, supported, and
actively optimized operating model.
What Redapt Resells:
Microsoft (via CSP):
- Azure consumption (billed through Redapt)
- Microsoft 365 licensing
- Microsoft security, data, and AI services under CSP
- Reserved Instance optimization for Azure
- Licensing optimization including AHUB, BYOL, and
License Mobility for Windows Server and SQL
AWS:
- AWS cloud consumption
- Savings Plans and Reserved Instance optimization
- Licensing optimization for workloads running on AWS
- Commonly paired with migration, assessment, and
cost-optimization engagements
Google Cloud:
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP) consumption
- Ongoing GCP billing through Redapt
- Frequently aligned to data, analytics, and
modernization workloads
Value Delivered vs. Buying Direct:
Consolidated Billing:
Single bill for cloud consumption, licenses, and
marketplace purchases -- simplifying budgeting,
forecasting, and vendor management.
Licensing & Consumption Optimization:
Continuous right-sizing, Reserved Instance and
Savings Plan optimization, and license model
alignment (BYOL, AHUB, marketplace licensing).
This is ongoing cost governance -- not a one-time
review.
Bundled Support & Managed Services:
Cloud purchased through Redapt can include
light-touch or discounted managed services,
reducing operational friction and accelerating
value realization.
Fractional Access to Specialized Expertise:
Customers gain on-demand access to high-value
skills they don't have in-house -- including
cloud architects, data engineers, security and
compliance specialists, and platform modernization
experts -- without the cost and delay of full-time
hiring.
Advisory & Procurement Guidance:
Strategic guidance on what to buy, when to buy
it, and how to structure it. Particularly valuable
during Microsoft EA exits, CSP transitions, and
multi-cloud expansion decisions.
Typical Buyer Profile:
Redapt's cloud resale is primarily purchased by:
- Organizations migrating or modernizing cloud
environments that need procurement aligned to
their delivery engagement
- Companies navigating Microsoft EA changes or
CSP transitions
- Regulated or data-intensive organizations needing
active cost governance across cloud spend
- Organizations lacking specific cloud, data, or
security skillsets internally who benefit from
fractional expertise access
Resale is positioned as an enabler of Redapt's
Managed Cloud and Services practices -- not an
isolated procurement product.
