Since we contracted with Trinity Network Consulting, LLC we have seen a significant increase in the performance of our IT network as a whole. When I entered this position, we were having continuous issues with our internet speeds, system failures, and many other problems due to a very dated network. With the help of Andrew, we have now moved our network from the 1990’s to a system that places us in a very strong position for at least the next 15-20 years. We have relied on Andrews expertise to bring our system to a new level allowing our teams to become more efficient and our systems much more reliable. After only a few months of our partnership with Trinity Network Consulting, LLC I am receiving many compliments from my team and our citizens on the speed and quality of our internet and I now have the confidence that our network is more secure than ever before. If you are struggling with where your network stands I would highly recommend Andrew and Trinity Network Consulting for all of your IT needs

I recommend Trinity as a full-service IT consulting/management team. They can handle a wide variety of situations and are quick to respond. They’ve already helped to sort out several issues for us that were created by the sudden departure of one of our team members.
Tammy Ritter
Information Services Security Specialist, Sea Island
First Baptist Church, Brunswick Georgia highly recommends the services of Trinity Network Consultants and Andrew Brauda. Beginning in 2017, we interviewed and ultimately contracted with Trinity to maintain our entire campus computer systems to include a dedicated server and over 20 computers, both Mac and PC. Andrew’s expertise and customer service has been outstanding. We have appreciated the professional and prompt communication and solutions for every issue we’ve had. Trinity has taken ownership of and responsibility for every area we have contracted them to handle and even a few that were outside the scope of our relationship such as a complete campus high-speed WiFi installation and a recommended conversion to Office 365 for our e-mail hosting. Trinity Network Consultants has become a valued member of our team and an invaluable partner. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Andrew and the Trinity team. Please feel free to call me for any further recommendation. Sincerely

Our Awards
A Detailed Vendor Audit Built Around Operational Clarity
Practical review, risk insight, and vendor alignment
Vendor Inventory
Know Who Owns What
A vendor audit begins with a clear inventory of the providers supporting your business technology. Trinity Network Consulting reviews contracts, service areas, renewal timelines, contacts, and support responsibilities so you know who owns each part of the environment.
This helps reduce confusion during outages, staff changes, or planning discussions. You gain a practical reference point for internet, cloud, security, hardware, software, backup, and support vendors.
Support Alignment
Reduce Support Friction
When multiple providers touch the same environment, accountability can become unclear. Trinity reviews how vendors communicate, escalate issues, and coordinate with your internal team or managed IT services provider.
The audit identifies gaps that can slow resolution, create duplicate work, or leave critical systems unsupported. The outcome is a clearer operating model that helps your business maintain operations and recover more quickly from disruptions.
Access Review
Strengthen Access Control
Vendor access can introduce security risk when permissions, remote tools, accounts, and responsibilities are not documented. Trinity reviews how vendors connect to your systems and where stronger controls may be needed.
This can include reviewing access points, backup dependencies, firewall-related responsibilities, and security management touchpoints. You receive practical recommendations that help protect the environment without creating unnecessary friction for approved support providers.
Cost Review
Control Cost and Renewal Risk
Technology vendors are often tied directly to monthly spend, renewals, licensing, hardware lifecycles, and support commitments. Trinity evaluates whether current services still match the way your organization operates today.
The goal is to identify waste, overlap, outdated services, and areas where consolidation or modernization may improve efficiency. You gain clearer information for budgeting, renewal planning, and vendor conversations.
Action Roadmap
Prioritize the Right Fixes
An audit is most valuable when it leads to action. Trinity turns findings into prioritized recommendations based on risk, operational impact, cost, and strategic alignment.
Instead of a generic list of issues, you receive guidance that helps leadership decide what should be addressed now, what can be planned for a future quarter, and what should be monitored. This supports stronger IT planning and reduces reactive decision-making.
Ongoing Planning
Support Long-Term Planning
Vendor environments change as your business grows, adopts cloud services, adds locations, or updates security requirements. Trinity helps connect audit findings to an ongoing management approach with reviews, documentation, and practical next steps.
This gives your team better continuity when staff changes occur and helps ensure vendors continue supporting your business goals, not just individual technical tasks.

Gain Clear Visibility Into Your Vendor Environment
Vendors touch some of the most important parts of your operation, from internet connectivity and cloud services to security tools, backups, hardware, and support. When responsibilities are unclear, small issues can turn into downtime, billing confusion, or delayed resolutions.
A Vendor Audit from Trinity Network Consulting gives you a practical review of the providers, systems, contracts, and dependencies supporting your environment. The goal is not to replace every vendor. It is to help you understand what is working, what creates risk, and where better coordination can improve efficiency, reliability, and network security.
With over 15 years of industry expertise, Trinity helps turn scattered vendor relationships into a clearer IT management strategy.
Turn Vendor Complexity Into Actionable IT Insight
A strong audit connects vendor performance to daily business impact. Trinity Network Consulting reviews how providers support your infrastructure, where responsibilities overlap, and where missing documentation could slow recovery or decision-making.
- Review current vendor roles, services, and points of contact.
- Identify gaps in accountability, support coverage, or escalation paths.
- Evaluate technology dependencies that affect uptime and continuity.
- Assess security-related vendor access and infrastructure exposure.
- Prioritize action items that align IT systems with strategic goals.
This gives leadership a clearer path for reducing friction, improving vendor coordination, and making informed decisions about renewals, consolidation, modernization, or ongoing managed IT services.
Make Better Vendor Decisions With Practical Guidance
Vendor problems often become visible only after something breaks: a circuit goes down, a support ticket stalls, a backup fails, or a provider cannot confirm ownership of a critical system. A proactive audit helps reduce that uncertainty before it affects operations.
Trinity Network Consulting brings the perspective of a full-service IT consulting and management team, with experience supporting clients ranging from small teams to large environments. The audit process helps you document vendor dependencies, confirm support expectations, and plan improvements that support uptime, security, and continuity.
You receive practical recommendations that can be used in budget planning, vendor negotiations, infrastructure upgrades, and quarterly business reviews.
