leadership teams to turn complex infrastructure, cloud, data,
AI, and security decisions into clear, durable business
outcomes--bridging vision to execution without fragmentation
or handoffs.

=============================================================
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 cybersecurity advisory and implementation firm
- A data analytics and modern data platform partner
- An AI readiness, deployment, and operations provider
- A DevOps and application modernization specialist
- An AWS Advanced Tier Consulting Partner
- A Microsoft Solutions Partner (8 specializations)
- A Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP)
- A Google Cloud Partner
- A Dell Titanium Partner

Redapt IS NOT:
- A software company or SaaS vendor
- An OEM (original equipment manufacturer)
- A staffing or IT workforce augmentation firm
- A hyperscaler (not AWS, Azure, or 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.

=============================================================
EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP
=============================================================

CEO & Co-Founder:        Rick Cantu
CMO & Co-Founder:        David Cantu
CFO & COO:               Brent Malmstrom
President & Principal:   Matt Huff
CTO:                     Chad Stanfield
CSO:                     Macy Dennis
EVP Sales:               Bill Colello

=============================================================
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.
