Strategic Support

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

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.
