Advocate
Advocate helps IT leaders transform from cost center to strategic partner by shifting the conversation to business outcomes. That’s not easy when most of your resources are tied up in KTLO and you’ve got a world of other priorities vying for your attention. As the premier TBM services company with more than 600 enterprise clients, Advocate uncovers more funds to invest, enables more business outcomes and creates more influence overall. After assessing over $50 billion in IT spend, we know how to find the savings and identify the investments that will make the most impact. It’s why we’ve helped clients save over $200 million in the last two years alone. Just show us your data – and we’ll show you exactly where you can free up the working capital to do what matters more.

That’s why we work, Smarter. Together.

2. Nurture and Expand All Relationships - We work to build strong, real relationships with clients, partners, and team members. We invest in active, purposeful face-to-face dialogue. Every interaction is an opportunity to advance a relationship and deliver a ‘wow’ experience.
3. Everyone Sells - Whether you carry the sales title or not, every time you talk to or interact with a prospective or current client or partner you are making an impression. Unfortunately, bad impressions sometimes get more attention. Do your best to make every contact positive.
4. Innovate & Institutionalize - We actively seek to drive innovation in our services, processes and deliverables. We constantly ask, “How can we do this better?” We actively seek to improve and embed great ideas in our organization through documentation, training and discipline.
5. Hope is Not a Strategy - We anticipate and tackle signs of potential trouble when they arise. We deal with issues directly before they are a “Red Flag.” We proactively address issues head-on and in a professional manner.

7. Open and Direct Communications - This is an integral function in everything we do. Being a leader at Advocate means you strive for open, honest and direct communications. This does not mean being abrupt and argumentative. We thrive and succeed on proactive, professional and respectful communications.
8. We Embrace Accountability - When we accept an assignment, we take responsibility for closing the communication loop with others. We plan with the end in mind, and execute with sharp focus on a quality outcome. If we make a mistake, we identify it, take accountability and solve it.
9. Elevate Yourself and the Company - We constantly seek to elevate ourselves in terms of skills and knowledge. We always are seeking new skills and knowledge to grow our individual ability as well as the company’s capabilities. Every team member seeks to help elevate themselves and each other all the time.
