Why We Built 2050

We created 2050 Communications because we believe that sourcing IT services should be smarter, more transparent, and aligned with customer needs at any point in their journey.  So we didn't start with vendor commission plans. We didn't start with products. We started with YOU. 

The Challenges We Saw:

* Vendors don't LISTEN to UNDERSTAND

* Vendor pricing was opaque

* Staffing felt transactional, not strategic

* No budget (for using recruiters, replacing legacy systems, modernizing, enhancing security, etc.)

* Post-sale service and support was handed off -- or dropped entirely

* Integration and deployment was left to chance

*  Sourcing services was complicated, time-consuming, and often costly

We believed there was a better way.

We whiteboarded every step of the buyer experience -- and redesigned it:

* We made pricing fairer via our Engage-to-Earn model

* We created creative, customizable pricing options to free up budgets

* We made hiring flexible -- by offering contract, contingent, and hourly recruiting options under a Statement of Work

* We made our support ongoing -- we don't disappear after the deal is signed

*  We built around your process -- not ours.

We thought: "What would the client want if they could write the playbook?" Then we built that.

We asked: 

What would the perfect IT partner look like for a CIO, CTO, or business leader?

What would help IT execs get rid of some stress, sleep better at night, hit their goals, get promoted, advance their careers?

What if we could be a single point of contact for busy IT execs so they could have a long-term relationship with an honest, trustworthy PERSON who was committed to understanding their needs, providing solutions, and acting as their advocate with vendors?

What if we could help clients either hire, or outsource, whichever solved the problem best?

What if we could provide clients with pricing that they can't get on their own?

What if we could help great companies hire great people?

What if we could provide clients with a short list of vetted vendor options ONLY when the client wanted it, and otherwise protect their time from endless solicitation and "just following up"s?

What if we could help small and mid-size companies grow?

What if we could make staffing more strategic, not transactional?

What if we could help make sure post-sale vendor support is not just handed off - or dropped entirely?

What if we could donate a portion of our profits back to the local communities in which our clients work and live?

This thinking led to our Engage-to-Earn rebate model, talent sourcing  options, and vendor-agnostic strategy services. 

2050 isn't just an agency. It's a new way of engaging the IT supply chain -- with integrity and ROI built in.

The Result:  2050 Communications

*  A transparent and client-first procurement experience

*  A hybrid talent model that adapts to your needs

*  Pricing that lowers your actual costs -- not marketing spin

* A team that acts more like your advisors than your vendors
