For consulting firms
Pro IT NW takes sub-MSA work from Microsoft project consultancies that win the bid but need senior depth to staff it. M365, hybrid Exchange, VMware exit, AD / Entra, CMMC, Copilot. Senior architect rates, same-week paper, named engineer per SOW, your client-facing brand and methodology.
Use cases
Tenant-to-tenant cutovers, hybrid Exchange decommission, SharePoint and OneDrive permission cleanup at scale, Teams Phone deployment, M365 modernization. Senior consultant who has run the playbook on 200- to 2,000-seat tenants — not a junior reading the runbook for the first time.
Broadcom-renewal escape paths into Hyper-V, Azure, Azure Stack HCI, Nutanix, or Scale. Windows Server 2019 EOS upgrades to Server 2025. We will scope the destination, run the cutover, and hand back operations — under your methodology and your client-facing brand.
Active Directory Tier-0 hardening (mid-market scale, not RedForest), Entra ID hybrid + Conditional Access, Copilot Readiness and tenant governance, GCC High + CMMC L2 pre-assessment and remediation, HIPAA-tier configurations. The lane where junior bench misses the trap and the project slips a quarter.
We are explicitly not a body shop and not a global SI. The named engineer who scopes the SOW runs the SOW. No bait and switch. No anonymous resource pool. No offshore handoff. That is the cost structure that supports the rate band below — and the trust structure that lets us deliver inside your project plan without producing surprises.
Rate
We staff senior-only, so the rate sits well above the mid-tier subcontractor market. That is the cost structure behind the named engineer who scopes and delivers the SOW, with no bait and switch and no anonymous resource pool. We share the current rate band on the 15-minute fit call and lock it per SOW.
CMMC L2, GCC High, AD Tier-0, and incident response price at the upper end of the band. Multi-month engagements over 200 committed hours negotiate to a lower blended rate. Travel for on-site work bills separately, capped per SOW. No hidden overhead, no platform fee, no time-card minimums.
The anti-conflict guarantee
Pro IT NW deliberately carries no Microsoft Solutions Partner badges and no vendor partner programs. Your designations stay yours. Your co-sell incentives stay yours. We will never compete with you for Microsoft co-sell credit on a shared engagement.
Standard sub-MSA terms include a mutual no-poach clause and a 12-month restriction on Pro IT NW marketing to your client during or after an engagement. We are not a wedge into your book of business.
We deliver inside your project plan, your reporting cadence, and your client-facing communications. Pro IT NW does not surface to your client unless you choose to introduce us by name. Many of our sub engagements stay invisible to the end client.
We have a sub-MSA and mutual NDA template ready to send. If your firm has a preferred sub-MSA, we will use yours and respond to redlines inside three business days.
Team
Our engineering bench is pulled from a deep network of named specialists in Microsoft 365, Azure, identity, virtualization, and security. Every engagement gets the right credentialed engineer for the work — not the next analyst on the bench at a global SI.
Bench snapshot
Named engineer per SOW at signature. We do not roster a generalist bench against a forward pipeline. We pull from a deep network of senior specialists who already have day jobs at large enterprises and select into project work that fits their depth.
Sample engagements
4 hours, fixed fee
A delivery director on a Copilot Readiness pursuit asked for a senior architect to sit on their technical-deep-dive call. Pro IT NW joined as their sub, walked the prospect through governance trade-offs in the customer's GCC High tenant, and the prospect signed within two weeks. The prime captured the full project; Pro IT NW invoiced four hours.
6 weeks, T&M
A 200-employee Microsoft consultancy lost their lead Exchange architect mid-engagement on a 1,400-seat hybrid cutover. Pro IT NW stepped in on a Friday, ran the pilot wave the following Tuesday, and finished the decommission on the prime's timeline. Same project plan, same client brand, no scope slippage.
8 weeks, fixed fee
A DIB-focused consultancy had three concurrent CMMC L2 pre-assessment SOWs and capacity for one. Pro IT NW took ownership of the NIST 800-171 control mapping and POA&M drafting on two of them under the prime's methodology. All three closed inside their committed timeline.
How to engage
Your delivery lead and Mat. We confirm practice-area fit, talk paper expectations, and either commit to send a sub-MSA the same week or part friendly.
Pro IT NW sends a template that day, or we sign yours. Three-business-day redline turnaround. Both signed before the first SOW.
Scope, named engineer, hours estimate, fixed-fee or T&M rate. We can sign your SOW template or send ours. We start when the SOW is countersigned, not before.
FAQ
Pro IT NW operates as a subcontractor under your master agreement, with each engagement scoped in a Statement of Work signed against a sub-MSA between our two firms. We can run as a 1099 sub (per engagement) or as a W-2 sub through Pro IT NW for the duration of the project. The named engineer is identified at SOW signature.
We staff senior-only, so the rate sits well above the mid-tier subcontractor market. That is the cost structure behind the named-engineer model. CMMC L2 and Identity Tier-0 work prices at the upper end. Multi-month engagements over 200 hours can negotiate to a lower blended rate. We share the current band on the 15-minute fit call and lock it per SOW. We do not body-shop at junior pricing, because that is not our cost structure or our positioning.
Same week if your legal team turns redlines inside five business days. We respond to redlines inside three business days. We have a template ready to send, or we will sign yours. The sub-MSA pre-clears the relationship so the first SOW can move at project pace.
No. Standard sub-MSA terms include a 12-month no-market clause covering the specific client and a mutual no-poach clause covering our respective employees and contractors. Pro IT NW's revenue comes from delivering under primes and from our direct project work, not from converting your client base.
No. By design. We are vendor-neutral and labor-only. We do not earn co-sell incentives, deal-registration discounts, or vendor margin. This is a feature for prime relationships: your designations stay yours, your co-sell credit stays yours, and there is no badge-driven recommendation bias for us to disclose to your client.
We will redirect them to you for any extension of the engaged scope. For genuinely new and unrelated work the client initiates after the no-market window expires, we will tell you first and offer a referral fee structure. We will not take a referral that competes with active work you have in flight.
Seattle headquarters with USA-wide remote project delivery. The senior bench is US-based. We do not offshore engineering or sub through global staffing arms. Travel for on-site work bills separately, capped per SOW.
Microsoft consulting firms in the 40 to 300 employee range, project-services oriented, usually with Solutions Partner designations in Modern Work, Azure, or Security. Our typical use cases: surge capacity on a critical project, senior architect on a pre-sale technical deep dive, CMMC L2 or Copilot Readiness specialization a prime does not staff in-house.
Senior US-based bench. M365, Exchange, VMware, identity, security, CMMC, Copilot. Sub-MSA-ready. Your brand, your methodology, your client.
