Due Diligence Advisory (DDA) was founded after more than two decades spent across the technology ecosystem as vendors, partners, and customers. Throughout this journey, we observed organizations consistently facing challenges with complex solutions, opaque pricing, and vendor-driven decisions, which often resulted in unnecessary spend. DDA exists to change that by providing expert procurement advisory services.
By remaining strictly vendor-neutral and leveraging real-world experience, we empower organizations to make clear, defensible decisions and negotiate from a position of strength, ensuring that every technology dollar contributes to significant IT savings.
DDA is NOT A VAR (Value Added Reseller). DDA IS a Vendor-Neutral Technology and Procurement Consulting Firm specializing in IT negotiating.

Why Leverage DDA For Your Organization?
Smarter IT Decisions. Stronger Financial Outcomes
Leveraging Due Diligence Advisory (DDA) enables organizations to make confident, defensible decisions while maximizing savings. Serving as a vendor-neutral consulting partner across complex initiatives, DDA provides objective guidance from strategy through procurement. We develop clear, side-by-side competitive matrices that allow stakeholders to evaluate technology options based on requirements, risk, and value rather than vendor or partner bias.
Once pricing is received from OEMs or integrators, DDA re-engages to analyze and negotiate those quotes, applying disciplined procurement negotiating strategies to uncover cost reductions, improve commercial terms, and deliver measurable savings. The result is greater transparency, reduced risk, and stronger outcomes across every investment.
