Strategic Support

Dedicated Microsoft Data Experts—Integrated Into Your Team. Structured. Scalable. Strategic.

Today’s data challenges demand more than ad hoc solutions. With Collectiv’s Strategic Support, you get embedded experts who are truly part of your team—working dedicated hours each week to drive initiatives forward.

"Collectiv resolved our problems within hours, not within days or weeks."

Built for Teams Who Want to Move Fast

The Microsoft Data Stack is constantly evolving, and your internal team can’t do it all. Strategic Support fills critical data gaps by embedding seasoned consultants into your team—on a weekly basis, in dedicated hour blocks.

You gain a predictable, scalable support model without the overhead of hiring, training, or ramping up.

How Strategic Support Works

Strategic Support is designed to fit into your team structure and workflow seamlessly. Here’s how it comes to life:

1. Choose Your Weekly Commitment

You select the number of hours your organization needs per week—based on project size, goals, or internal bandwidth gaps.

2. Assign the Right Consultant(s)

Based on your needs, Collectiv matches you with consultants who bring the right technical skills and industry experience.

3. Onboard Your Consultant

Just like a new internal hire, your consultant is onboarded into your team environment—with access to systems, tools, and regular team meetings.

4. Get a True Team Member

Your Collectiv consultant works side-by-side with your internal team during dedicated weekly hours—providing strategy, execution, and continuity.

5. Scale as Needed

Need to add more hours, bring on another expert, or pivot to a new initiative? Strategic Support is structured but scalable, with flexible add-on options.

What’s the weekly commitment minimum?

Strategic Support engagements start with a baseline weekly hour bucket—typically a minimum of 5 hours per week.

Are consultants exclusive to my team during those hours?

Yes. During your dedicated hours, the consultant is focused exclusively on your work.

How soon can we start?

Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks of alignment, depending on resource fit and onboarding needs.

Can we scale up or down?

Yes. You can adjust hours or bring on additional consultants as your needs change.
