VocalPoint's Strategic Framework, IT Compass.

Most technology decisions are distorted by vendor bias, quota-driven sales reps, and transactional thinking. VocalPoint Consulting was built to sit exclusively on your side of the table.

Do you need help navigating complex tech decisions? Our IT Compass™ Framework keeps technology decisions simple:

  • Planning: We evaluate your current setup, identify gaps, and map out a clear roadmap.

  • Procurement: We research vendors, compare options, and negotiate the best deals.

  • Project Management: We coordinate vendors, manage timelines, and ensure everything stays on track through launch.

 

As an independent firm, we work only for you with no vendor bias, no hourly invoices, just expert advice and real results.

How Our Technology Consulting Works​​​​

Phase 01
Planning

Develop a Statement of Work (SOW): We collaborate with your team to define project objectives, scope, and deliverables, ensuring alignment with your business goals.​

 

Project Planning and Roadmapping: Our experts create detailed project plans and roadmaps, outlining timelines, resources, and milestones to guide your cybersecurity initiatives.​

Phase 02
Procurement

Vendor Benchmarking: We evaluate vendors based on multiple criteria, including security features, compliance standards, and cost-effectiveness, to identify the best fit for your needs.​

Collaborative Design: Working alongside vendor engineering resources, we assist in the initial design phase, ensuring solutions are tailored to your specific requirements.​

Phase 03
Project Management

Implementation Oversight: Our team oversees the deployment of the technology solutions, ensuring they are implemented effectively and with minimal disruption to your operations.​

Continuous Monitoring and Support: Post-implementation, we provide ongoing support and monitoring to adapt to emerging threats and maintain optimal security posture.​

Our Story

VocalPoint was founded in 2010 to solve a problem we couldn’t ignore; technology buying had become chaotic. Companies were drowning in paperwork, vague promises, and flashy tools that didn’t solve real problems. The result? Expensive mistakes, the wrong solutions, chosen for the wrong reasons.

We decided to take a different path. At VocalPoint, we start by asking better questions. We identify the actual problem before we recommend anything. And when we do, it’s never about the trendiest platform or the loudest vendor. It’s about what works. The right solution, for the right reasons, at the right time.

That philosophy still drives us today. We lead with truth. We act with integrity. We serve without ego. And we never compromise our principles, even when it costs us. Clients don’t come to us for sugar-coated advice. They come to us because we challenge what’s broken and deliver what works. That’s how we’ve built trust. That’s how we operate. And that’s why we’re still here.

Welcome to VocalPoint Consulting!

Derek W. Roush

Founder & President

As President of VocalPoint Consulting, I lead a team of sales, project management, and technical subject matter experts on a mission to transform technology consulting and procurement. In 2010, after a decade in the telecommunications industry with companies like Expanets, Avaya, and Windstream, I founded VocalPoint to disrupt the traditional sales-driven approach that prioritized quotas over client success. My goal was to create a better, strategy-first procurement model that helps businesses navigate an evolving tech landscape and adopt the right solutions for growth and efficiency.

Through our proprietary IT Compass framework, we streamline procurement, optimize contract negotiations, and drive seamless technology implementations. Since our launch, we’ve grown from 30 suppliers in 2010 to over 700 suppliers today, fueling consistent revenue growth and expanding our ability to serve over 150 clients with tailored technology consulting services and solutions.

I am a certified solutions professional in UCaaS, CCaaS, Cloud Computing, Telecom, and Networking Solutions, and I actively contribute to Orlando’s tech and business communities through leadership roles and advisory boards.
