Get your time and your judgment back.
This is for the public sector team, municipal, provincial, or federal, that has to figure out what to buy without taking a meeting for every vendor in the inbox.
Use PartnerAZ as your pre-discovery: the stage before procurement and before any sales call, where a public-sector or enterprise buying team discovers and sizes up technology together layer, so the whole team can sit at the same table before any sales call. Built for the public sector across Canada. Free for buyers. No vendor can pay to rank higher.
For the public sector, at every level.
One discovery layer for government buying teams of any size, across Canada.
Municipal
Cities, towns, and regional districts, and the boards and agencies they run. Where PartnerAZ starts, and where the vendor backlog sits heaviest.
Provincial
Ministries, agencies, and Crown corporations. The same discovery problem, with broader mandates and tighter public accountability.
Federal
Departments and agencies. Structured, defensible discovery before procurement, at national scale.
Learn what exists, no demo, no pressure.
Five things that change when you start.
Relief. Learn what exists with no demo and no pressure. No cold outreach to answer, no premature meetings. You go at your own pace, with no commitment. Your inbox stops being the front door.
Control. For each vendor, you decide meet now, save, or never. When a meeting is worth it, scheduling is easy and the vendor arrives knowing your purpose and questions.
Confidence. Your group discovers together, on file, against your own standards and each department's preferences. A score you can read in numbers surfaces best fit first. You are sure, and you can show why.
A partner, not a vendor. PartnerAZ never takes a cut of any deal, so there is no incentive to steer you anywhere.
Cost. Free, always. The buyer never pays, and no vendor can pay to rank higher, so the result you see is never tilted by money. Vendors pay to be seen. They can never pay to rank. Your list is ordered by fit, which is the whole point of it.
What you control
- Your standards stay private. You set the governance bar, the security requirements, and what each department needs. No vendor sees them.
- Every meeting is your call. For each vendor you decide meet now, keep on file, or never. Only the meetings you choose happen.
- The reasoning is yours to read. The fit score is a score per criterion you set, in numbers, so you can re-run it and check it any time.
Everyone who shapes the decision has a place.
Select a role to see what pre-discovery does for it.
CIO / IT director
Stop being pulled into vendor calls for tools other departments own. Set the security and governance bar once, and a neutral, defensible score does the vetting before anyone meets.
Non-managerial end users get a voice throughout. They can learn what exists, vote, and request a review, without making the decision or being bombarded.
Built for public sector buying teams
The pain and the accountability are sharpest in the public sector.
The job you inherit
You inherit the vendor backlog the day you start the job.
Cold emails. IT memo binders. Sole-source justification stacks. A backlog of solicitations the previous team could not work through, and a public duty to choose defensibly. Pre-discovery is the one stage that can be made structural before the next ask lands.
Built for the public sector
Focus is how a new tool earns a public buyer's trust.
Every size of public sector team, across Canada. The accountability is sharpest here, so this is where the work goes first.
Your process stays
Your existing procurement chain stays intact.
PartnerAZ ends before the RFI. Your formal process never changes. We surface the defensible shortlist; you run the procurement step you already run, with the standards already met and the discovery already done.
What you can show council
Council oversight is built in, not bolted on. The fit score is deterministic, so a councilmember can re-run the reasoning against your standards and read why each vendor placed where it did. No black-box verdict to defend.
You walk in with a defensible, re-runnable record: standards met, a clean vendor trace, and a shortlist every department can read.
