How MK7 Pathfinder Works
Every engagement follows MK7's Assess ? Design ? Deploy ? Manage methodology, supported by the Pathfinder decision-support system at each phase.
Assess
No-cost working session captures your situation, current platform timeline, and strategic priorities. Initial clarity framework delivered the same session.
Design
Pathfinder applies your requirements to the full provider landscape. Top 3–5 best-fit options surface with TCO, risk, and implementation roadmap.
Deploy
MK7's 45+ virtualization and infrastructure engineers implement the chosen platform. Vendor-agnostic execution, accountable to the client.
Manage
Ongoing managed services sustain performance and capture the next round of optimization opportunities as your environment evolves.
Pathfinder is your decision-support platform — not another sales pitch.
MK7's revenue comes from the relationships we maintain across the 400+ vendors in the Pathfinder portfolio, which means our focus is on helping you choose the vendor that best meets your requirements. Once a solution vendor is selected, we can assist with implementation if desired, and once the solution is deployed we can offer ongoing managed services if desired. Every recommendation is supported by documented evaluation evidence that is defensible to boards, finance, and audit committees.
