Who We Are
Brokerage rails built over 15 years, redirected at AI.
Innovendis is a wholly-owned brand of Cloud Taskforce — a veteran TSD (technology service distributor) in the channel and part of Alliance Partners, a consortium that includes 3 out of the big 6 TSDs and is collectively the largest B2B technology distributor in the United States. Since 2012, we have been helping companies make sense of and adopt business technology: telecom, UCaaS, contact center, cloud, cybersecurity, infrastructure, managed services — all legacy technology solutions across telecom, IT, cloud, and mobile.
Innovendis is not an AI directory or marketplace. It is built on existing brick and mortar brokerage rails, some of the strongest provider relationships in the United States with the best pricing and business terms, C-level supplier access, deal-path experience, and fluency in how business technology gets sourced, sold, implemented, and supported at scale.
AI is the focus. Cloud Taskforce is the foundation.
The brokerage model works because it sits between buyers overwhelmed with choice explosion and complexity and a supplier landscape which is far more explosive with AI than anything that came before.
Buying AI is not about choosing a vendor. It starts with understanding the work itself:
Our Edge
Three things that are very rarely found together.
Substantial brokerage experience
We understand vendor sourcing, supplier fit, partner economics, TA education, back office, and the practical realities of moving a business technology deal from conversation to close.
Technical AI expertise and hands-on work
Unlike the vast majority of people involved with AI in any capacity, we architect, code, test and operate in complex AI systems ourselves: agentic RAGs, bespoke workflow automation, voice agents, long-running agent harnessing and orchestration, multi-modal data pipelines, evaluation patterns.
We are not a software vendor or a professional services organization for hire. But our principals have been shipping software for 30 years, working with AI since 2018 (before GPT-2) and we spend countless hours building and operating complex AI systems to stay on top of the blistering pace of improvements in underlying technologies and practices.
That helps us keep vendors honest for you by deeply understanding how their products work under the hood. We remain at the frontier as new technologies appear on the scene.
AI supplier bench
We track the categories, best-in-class vendors, benefits, security postures, pricing models, delivery motions, implementation risks, and retention/CSAT scores so you don’t have to.
This requires constant maintenance and updating of tribal knowledge to stay on top of AI. It is more than a full-time job. And we’re on it. We have a deep bench of specialist AI suppliers that are carefully vetted to fill a distinct need that corresponds to common business pain.
AI demos are easy. Knowing what is real enough to recommend and whether it’s a good fit is exponentially harder. It involves (1) exceptional understanding of AI itself as a subject matter, (2) up-to-date knowledge of the fastest growing supplier landscape in the world changing at warp speed, and (3) non-trivial understanding of the specific business problem.
Innovendis works with businesses from SMB to enterprise—and with the trusted advisors who help them make technology decisions.
