Maycrest provides vendor-neutral technology advisory to organizations of every size — from initial assessment through implementation and beyond.
Most organizations end up with technology they were sold rather than technology that fits. Maycrest conducts an independent assessment of your environment before making any recommendation — ensuring every decision is driven by operational fit, not supplier economics.
There is no shortage of consultants who can present a solution. There is a meaningful shortage of advisors who can evaluate why it is appropriate for your environment, what implementation will require, and where risk exists. That distinction is the foundation of how Maycrest operates.
Outdated contracts, underperforming infrastructure, and misaligned service agreements are more common than most organizations realize. A structured technology assessment surfaces these gaps and establishes a clear baseline for improvement.
Maycrest holds appointments across the full vendor landscape. Every engagement begins with a thorough assessment before any recommendation is made.

Maycrest works with organizations of every size, from growing businesses to large enterprises. Every engagement is scoped to your environment. Recommendations follow analysis, not catalog availability.
Unreliable or legacy communications infrastructure creates measurable operational drag — missed connections, fragmented workflows, and systems that fail to integrate with the broader technology stack. Maycrest evaluates your current environment and identifies the right cloud communications architecture, whether hosted PBX, SIP trunking, UCaaS, or Microsoft Operator Connect, based on your scale, structure, and requirements.
SD-WAN replaces static, cost-intensive legacy circuits with intelligent, policy-driven routing that optimizes traffic in real time. For organizations managing multiple locations, inconsistent performance, or escalating WAN costs, it represents a significant architectural improvement. Maycrest has deployed SD-WAN across a broad range of environments and selects platforms based on your topology, security requirements, and operational priorities.
Network performance has a direct impact on productivity, application reliability, and security posture. If your connectivity infrastructure has not kept pace with organizational growth or cloud adoption, Maycrest conducts a formal assessment of your current architecture and identifies a path forward — whether that involves carrier changes, SASE adoption, or a phased infrastructure upgrade.
Cloud contact center platforms offer measurable advantages in reporting, workforce flexibility, and operational scalability over legacy on-premise systems. The CCaaS market is crowded and vendor-differentiated in ways that matter operationally. Maycrest evaluates platforms against your call volume, team structure, CRM integrations, and compliance requirements, and manages the procurement process from evaluation through contract execution.
Organizations without dedicated IT resources — or with lean teams managing growing infrastructure — benefit significantly from a well-structured managed services arrangement. Maycrest identifies and qualifies managed service providers based on your size, complexity, and support requirements, and remains engaged post-placement to ensure service levels are met and the relationship delivers ongoing value.
Wireless WAN solutions have matured significantly and now represent a viable primary or failover connectivity strategy across a wide range of deployment scenarios. Whether your organization requires connectivity at locations where wired infrastructure is limited, redundancy for business-critical circuits, or flexible connectivity for temporary sites, Maycrest assesses the available options and recommends based on performance requirements and cost structure.
Maycrest holds no preferred vendor agreements and carries no placement quotas. Every recommendation is the product of independent analysis.
Start with an assessmentStan Michaud has spent his career on the technical side of enterprise technology decisions — evaluating architectures, designing solutions, and managing the delivery of complex engagements across organizations ranging from small businesses to Fortune 100 companies. That work has spanned network infrastructure, unified communications, managed services, SD-WAN, and cloud connectivity.
Prior to founding Maycrest, Stan served as a Solutions Engineer responsible for translating business requirements into viable technology architectures — work that required both technical fluency and executive-level communication. He has overseen more than $3 million in solution design and 1,500+ deployments across the U.S. and Canada over the course of his career.
Maycrest was founded on a straightforward premise: organizations deserve advisory that is technically credible, commercially independent, and oriented toward long-term outcomes rather than transaction volume.
Every Maycrest engagement follows a structured advisory process. The assessment phase is non-negotiable — it ensures that recommendations are grounded in your actual environment rather than generalized best practices.
A structured analysis of your current environment: infrastructure, contracts, costs, performance gaps, and alignment with business objectives. Findings are documented and prioritized regardless of whether an engagement proceeds.
Based on assessment findings, Maycrest develops a prioritized set of recommendations with clear rationale for each: what it addresses, expected investment, implementation scope, and associated risk considerations.
Approved recommendations are taken to market through a structured vendor evaluation process. Maycrest manages RFP development, proposal review, and comparative analysis, providing an objective recommendation on vendor selection.
Maycrest remains engaged through deployment as client advocate, managing escalations and ensuring delivery against contracted scope. Post-implementation, we serve as an ongoing advisory resource through renewals and evolving requirements.
The technology assessment is complimentary and conducted without obligation. It is the most direct way to establish whether Maycrest can add value to your organization.
