Move voice and contact center to the cloud on terms you negotiated, not terms you inherited.

Put AI to work in customer conversations, with a platform chosen for your use cases, not a vendor's roadmap.

Compare colocation, data center and cloud options by location, compliance and cloud access.
06 / 06
See every technology bill in one place, and catch the errors and unused services draining your budget.

Banks and financial firms face strict security and compliance demands, often with overlapping circuits and providers that drive cost up. LAVA helps you harden the stack with the right security services, then right-size network spend so redundancy protects you without overpaying.
Retailers need every store online for payments, inventory and voice, and many still carry costly legacy lines. LAVA sources multi-site connectivity and SD-WAN, replaces aging circuits where it makes sense, and uses Network Spend Optimization to consolidate providers and invoices without disrupting the sales floor.
Plants can't afford downtime while OT networks modernize and stay secure. LAVA helps manufacturers design resilient site connectivity, pair it with the right security stack, and keep projects moving so production stays online through the upgrade.
Insurers run distributed networks and busy contact centers for agents and claims. LAVA consolidates connectivity across sites and sources UCaaS, CCaaS and CX platforms so teams stay responsive while contracts and providers stay under control.

Product roadmaps outpace campus power and space. LAVA runs the colocation and cloud interconnection market for you, from RFP to contract to deployment, so you can scale capacity, cloud access and interconnect as fast as the business needs.

FAQ
LAVA is an Enterprise Technology Consulting Firm that helps organizations make better technology decisions, optimize spending and execute with confidence. We work across network, cybersecurity, cloud, communications, CX and AI, and technology expense management.
A technology advisor audits your current IT services and contracts, compares options across many providers, negotiates terms, and manages delivery and ongoing support. LAVA does this for connectivity, SD-WAN/SASE, security, UCaaS/CCaaS, cloud, colocation and technology expense management.
Buying direct can be the right choice. LAVA adds a wider view of the market, structured evaluation against your requirements, commercial expertise and implementation coordination across multiple providers. Sometimes the best option is an improved agreement with your incumbent.
No. LAVA is an enterprise technology consultant that works across 300+ providers, so recommendations follow your requirements, not a single carrier or platform. Sometimes the best outcome is a better deal from your current provider.
LAVA helps plan, source and coordinate implementation with your team and selected providers. The technology providers generally deliver and operate their own services. LAVA’s support responsibilities are defined in the engagement and applicable agreements.
We review services, invoices, contracts and requirements for overpricing, duplication, unused capacity and consolidation opportunities. Where appropriate, we compare market options, manage RFPs and help negotiate improved terms. Results depend on the starting environment and agreed scope.
AaaS is LAVA’s ongoing technology strategy, optimization and execution relationship. A defined team helps assess priorities, source solutions, coordinate projects and review progress. It complements your internal staff and does not automatically replace an MSP or IT operations function.
No. The best path may be optimizing an existing contract, changing a service design, introducing a different provider or leaving an effective solution as it is. We evaluate those decisions with you.
LAVA’s delivery team coordinates kickoff, install, testing, turn-up and legacy disconnects with weekly status calls. LAVA then supports every service for the life of the agreement, including billing issues, changes and expansions.
LAVA is headquartered in Purcellville, Virginia, and supports enterprises nationwide and globally, with colocation, data center and cloud options around the world.
LAVA serves enterprises in healthcare, financial services, retail, manufacturing, insurance, transportation, real estate, construction, engineering and technology, from mid-market companies to the Fortune 100.
