Frequently Asked Questions
EcS+ dramatically differentiates itself from similar advisory entities, through its compensation structure. There are numerous organizations that pilfer a percentage of their clients’ cost savings and expense reductions as compensation. EcS+ does not do that.
The client never pays EcS+ and the clients' savings are never compromised.
EcS+ is peerless, in that compensation is received through a vendor compensation structure. The compensation comes through the vendor side, thus bypassing the client.
However, although EcS+'s income is derived from the vendor, EcS+ is non-exclusive in the use of vendors. EcS+ is completely agnostic, impartial and objective and does not advocate certain vendors over others.
However, EcS+ is aligned with vendors that are household names such as #1 in the industry ADP in the payroll vertical and #1 in the industry Fiserv in the Merchant Card vertical, and global icons like Berkshire Hathaway, Allianz, and every other A1-rated carrier in the Insurance vertical or T-Mobile and Verizon and other global players in the Tech/Telecom vertical, and so forth. Ecs+ is also aligned with some established small to medium-sized companies.
The goal is always the same: drive aggressive double-digit savings for the client while simultaneously improving service. When the analysis is completed, EcS+ presents its evaluation, quantifies the findings, and then, when accepted by the client, executes the expense reduction.
**In the final analysis, it is always the client who chooses the vendor and the level of expense reduction suitable to their particular dynamic and needs. EcS+ simply does all of the heavy lifting at no cost or risk to the client.**
EcS+ business model is unique. We have developed unique partnerships in the USA that provide our clients with substantial cost and expense savings at no cost to the client. The original model, created by the founding owners in 2002, the same year it received a formal endorsement from GE Capital. (See details on "About Us" page).
The original managing partners, Gene Cordiano and Marc-André Buenger serve as an Advisory Board to EcS+ who is now owned by Angela Briante, the sole Managing Principle. Over their careers, Gene and Marc-André worked in investment banking for the Americans, the Germans, the French, the British, and the Swiss. These managing partners have global investment banking experience at the most senior levels, with the most elite institutions (UBS, Merrill Lynch, BNY Mellon, Groupe BPCE- Natixis, ICAP, Portigon AG, etc ) as well as CEO positions in major corporations. Angela Briante comes from the Real Estate Brokerage space and compliments her Real Estate Brokerage with an off-shoot of what the founding partners began in 2002.
EcS+ is the only organization in the United States that executes double-digit savings for clients through a no fee, no risk, no obligation model.
EcS+ specializes in enhancing and expanding cash flow and elevating credit standing for companies of all sizes and composition.
EcS+ clients range from micro and small business customers with one employee to large, multi-billion dollar enterprises with tens of thousands of employees.
EcS+ executes expense reductions and cost savings through a no cost, no fee, no risk, no obligation platform. EcS+ is not hired or retained. The customer never compensates us, we are compensated by the provider.
