Avail Partners

What Avail Partners does

Avail Partners is a Seattle-based technology consulting firm founded in 2012 that provides vendor-agnostic IT advisory services to midmarket organizations and selected enterprise clients. The firm helps clients evaluate, source, and manage technology vendors across a broad domain set that includes cloud migration, cybersecurity, datacenter colocation, managed hosting, SD-WAN, UCaaS/CCaaS, telephony, disaster recovery, connectivity, and AI. Avail Partners does not sell software products; its deliverable is professional advisory work — vendor research and sourcing, market intelligence, contract validation, price analysis, CIO services, technology roadmaps, and solution design. The firm operates with a small team of 1–10 employees led by Managing Partner Dan Marsh and Partner Scott Maurice, both with 25+ year technology backgrounds spanning Exodus Communications, Savvis, and Microsoft.

The firm's commercial model is unconventional: Avail Partners charges no upfront fee to clients and instead operates on a success-based arrangement under multi-year contracts, earning only when clients achieve successful outcomes from vendor recommendations. This vendor-agnostic, no-cost model is positioned as protection against disruptive vendor sales tactics and as a way to align Avail's incentives with client savings. Named clients include DocuSign, Genentech, Delta Dental, Zulily, Genoa Healthcare, Savers, North Risk Partners, Sequoyah Electric, TRACKTech, 8Stem, Rejuvenly, Orderly, and Skytap. The firm maintains a headquarters in Seattle, WA (600 Stewart Street, Suite 1510) and a secondary office in Meridian, ID (3597 E Monarch Sky Lane, Suite F240), and supplements its advisory work with a recurring content franchise of research reports on UCaaS, CCaaS, SASE, SD-WAN, NIST Security, and colocation.

On August 5, 2025, UPSTACK announced the acquisition of Avail Partners LLC, integrating the firm into a larger infrastructure services platform. At the time of acquisition the company remained privately held, with no disclosed funding rounds, patents, certifications, software products, or regulatory actions. The combination of an experienced two-partner team, a differentiated no-cost advisory model, and an enterprise-flavored client roster made the firm a tuck-in target for UPSTACK's expanding national infrastructure services footprint.
