Telmac Group and CLD Consulting Announce Strategic Implementation Alliance

LENEXA, KS — May 6, 2026 — CLD Consulting, a premier provider of cloud innovation, unified communications, and managed IT services, today announced a strategic partnership with Telmac Group, a leading enterprise expense optimization and IT advisory firm. This alliance integrates rigorous financial cost-containment methodologies with advanced technology architecture & deployment services, empowering enterprise organizations to extract trapped capital from their existing technology budgets and seamlessly reinvest those funds into critical IT & AI modernization.

As global IT spending continues to escalate rapidly, enterprise leadership faces unprecedented pressure to balance the demand for technological innovation with aggressive cost control mandates. Through this strategic joint venture, Telmac Group will deliver proprietary auditing and optimization services across traditional IT & telecommunications, security, cloud, data center, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) portfolios directly to CLD Consulting’s expansive client base. By systematically identifying billing anomalies, eliminating decentralized shadow IT, and rightsizing complex software license purchases, the partnership is designed to uncover substantial, recurring budget efficiencies.

"For over a decade, our core mission has been to revolutionize organizations through the seamless integration of cloud-based technology, yet the primary friction point for any enterprise transformation is often the initial capital outlay," said Shelby Cooper, CEO of CLD Consulting. "By partnering with Telmac Group, we are fundamentally altering the economics of IT upgrades. We are now offering our clients a mechanism for self-funding their digital evolution. The trapped capital they recover through immediate expense optimization directly finances the deployment of our advanced Unified Communications and Managed IT services, effectively removing the budgetary barriers to innovation."

The joint service offering directly addresses the evolving, highly collaborative relationship between Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) and Chief Information Officers (CIOs). As financial and technical leaders are increasingly required to align their investments with strict return-on-investment metrics, this partnership’s integrated workflow ensures that cost reduction acts as a catalyst for scalable growth, rather than a detriment to operational capability.

"Enterprise leaders recognize that continuous IT cost optimization is no longer just a defensive financial tactic; it is mandatory infrastructure for sustainable growth," stated Robert McGuire, Founder & CRO at Telmac Group. "Our proprietary expense analysis methodologies perfectly complement the deep architectural expertise of the CLD Consulting team. Together, we ensure that every dollar an enterprise spends on technology is driving maximum organizational value, allowing businesses to leave outdated legacy systems behind without fracturing their budgets."

Enterprises seeking to modernize their technological infrastructure while simultaneously reducing their operational run-rate are encouraged to engage the partnership for a comprehensive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Cost/Benefit Analysis.
