Independent & Vendor-Agnostic

Technology decisions,
made with your numbers, not a vendor's.

Consult 2000 Advisors helps finance, IT, and procurement teams cut through vendor noise — auditing what you have, benchmarking what it costs, and negotiating what comes next.

Who We Are

Two operators, three decades of telecom and infrastructure between them.

We've sat on the vendor side and the client side. We built this firm to sit only on yours.

Michael Scharf

Chief Executive Officer

Michael spent more than nine years at AT&T before joining PAETEC, where he opened the West Palm Beach, Florida market as Director of Sales and built an award-winning team that grew to $12 million in revenue in five years. In 2009 he co-founded teXium, a Florida-based technology consulting firm built on a solutions-driven, provider-agnostic model — tailored to what a client actually needs rather than a single vendor's quota. He holds a bachelor's degree in economics from Rollins College and is based in Winter Garden, Florida.

Michael Martin

Chief Revenue Officer

Michael's telecom career started more than two decades ago selling internet and phone service to small businesses in Florida, followed by stops designing complex data networks at Cable & Wireless and working with large multi-location accounts at US LEC and PAETEC. In 2009 he co-founded teXium, where he led sales and marketing as the firm grew steadily across multiple industries. Today he specializes in translating technical options into decisions clients can actually stand behind — matching solutions to what a business needs, not what's easiest to sell. Michael is based in Fernandina Beach, Florida.

Consult 2000 Advisors was founded on a simple premise: the best technology advice comes from people with no stake in which vendor you choose. We get paid to find the right fit — not to move a particular product.
What We Cover

One point of contact, across every layer of your stack.

We work across the technologies most businesses actually run on — and stay current on the vendors behind each one.

01

Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure

Public, private, and hybrid cloud strategy, migration support, and ongoing cost optimization.

02

Cybersecurity & Network Security

Endpoint protection, identity and access management, and security posture reviews mapped to real risk.

03

Internet & Wide-Area Networking

Dedicated internet access, SD-WAN, ethernet, and broadband sourcing for single sites or national footprints.

04

Voice & Unified Communications

UCaaS, SIP trunking, hosted PBX, and legacy POTS replacement handled without service disruption.

05

Data Center & Colocation

Facility selection, capacity planning, and colocation sourcing across a vetted national provider network.

06

Customer Experience Platforms

Contact center and CX platform selection, CRM integration, and omnichannel engagement design.

How We Work

Four steps. No vendor bias at any of them.

Every engagement runs the same disciplined way, whether it's one contract or a full infrastructure overhaul.

01

Audit

We inventory what you're actually running and paying for — including the shadow spend most teams don't track.

02

Benchmark

We compare your pricing and terms against current market data, not last year's assumptions.

03

Negotiate

We run vendor selection and contract negotiation on your behalf, at no cost to you.

04

Manage

We stay on as your escalation point for renewals, issues, and whatever comes up in between.

Get In Touch

Let's look at what you're running — and what it should cost.

No obligation, no pressure. Just an honest read on where your technology spend stands today.
