About Prelude Solutions

Prelude Solutions is a technology consulting firm helping organizations optimize their communication platforms while uncovering cost savings. We specialize in telecom and technology audits, platform optimization, contract negotiations, vendor management, and market analysis, all designed to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Our process starts with a comprehensive audit, where we build a detailed inventory of our clients’ technology and services. We then compare options from over 500 providers, delivering unbiased recommendations and best-in-class pricing. On average, our clients save 33% through our contingency-based model, meaning we only get paid when we find savings.

But our work doesn’t stop there, at Prelude, we believe once a client, always a client. We provide ongoing support to help clients adapt to technology changes, manage vendors, and stay optimized for the future.

Smart savings, ongoing support — that’s the Prelude way.
