How your business benefits

The McGarry Benefit

Options & Creativity

We provide options and designs from multiple carriers who bring their creativity and value. We ensure that our clients have all the info they need to select the best solution with confidence.

Access to Carriers

We have access to 100s of carriers and service providers, that in most cases, clients are unaware of.

We Save You Money

It’s something that naturally happens when we are involved. You will save money and we never charge you a dime to make that you do. We get paid by the carriers.

Long Term Quality & Support

Once engaged, we provide ongoing sales and service support that lasts for years (not days). Our customers stay with us for an average of 15 years plus. The carriers may change but we are the constant that customers appreciate and value.

Competition = Lower Cost

We bring the best in class providers to the table and then let them compete for your business. This competition almost always results in carriers lowering their costs in an effort to win the business.

What people are saying

Testimonials

David B. Fagan

CSO, Ferrara Candy Company

For nearly 20 years, Steve has helped me run a multi-site regional network efficiently and effectively. I have always been able to rely on his deep knowledge of telecom options, trends and technologies. He has leveraged his relationships and industry-insider knowledge to my benefit time and time again. Steve is a true professional that I trust with all of my telecom management.

Pete Sedgwick

CIO, Empeople Credit Union

I have had the pleasure of working with Steve McGarry for over 20 years as the Director of IT for Baxter Credit Union and now as a consultant with Best Innovation Group. Steve has always been a valuable resource because he gives so much of his time and skills to every project as if was an employee and not a vendor. He does his homework and then brings the best combination of providers to the table and lets them compete for the business. He manages the whole process from sales to implementation and then ongoing customer support. We have always gotten a better and less expensive product than we would have gotten without him.

Stefan Mititelu

Director, BTP Infastructure and Ops, SC Johnson

During my career at Panduit I had the great opportunity to engage Stephen's expertise in many projects associated with telecommunications services, architectures, solutions and products. Based on his extraordinary abilities in understanding complex designs and then identifying multiple options for any type of requirements, the end result of every project with which he has assisted us has always consisted of an optimal solution, with unbeatable associated contractual terms of service. In time - based on the flawless execution of all his work and his capability of teaming up with our internal technical groups - we have started considering Stephen an almost full member of our groups (network and communications), willing participant in initial whiteboard sessions, when actual projects have just been barely taking shape. I would recommend Stephen as the best partner for any serious company willing to take advantage of a highly skilled professional in the area of data and voice services, and a great overall team player.

THE MIND BEHIND THE KNOWLEDGE

About McGarry

Stephen McGarry

President & CEO, McGarry Consulting Group, LLC

Contact
Stephen McGarry designs, sells, and supports complex carrier networks for small & enterprise businesses which includes Managed WAN, Security, Cloud and Hosted VoIP services. He provides a consultative approach making sure to meet and exceed his customers goals by eliminating the gaps that often exist between a customer's expectations and the realization of what they actually get.

McGarry has 37 years in the Telephony & Data industry, and he brings integrity and a strong work ethic to everything he does. Once he understands the needs of a customer, he brings the best carriers with the best services to the table, and let’s them compete for the business.

Steve is a father of 4, a grandfather of 5 beautiful children who he adores. He is also blessed to be married to a woman who guides and supports him for almost 40 years. He is a proud alum of Mt. Carmel High School (Chicago, IL) and North Central College (Naperville, IL) and is a 4th degree member of the Knights of Columbus.

The McGarry Philosophy

Navigating through the Data & Telecom marketplace can feel like you’re traveling through the wilderness without a compass.

That’s not hyperbole—there are over 1,001 providers in the United States alone. All of them come with different policies, price points, philosophies, coverage, security features, network configurations. And the landscape keeps changing, consolidating, and growing.

People looking for the right telecom provider shouldn’t have to feel like they’re starting a journey of a thousand miles into an unfriendly, or at least unknown, wilderness, with no guide.

That’s where I fit in.

I’m a seasoned veteran of this industry. For over forty years, I’ve provided telecommunications and data services to businesses, and I’ve seen the whole landscape. If I’ve learned anything in close to half a century of doing this, it’s this: you never know what’s going to come at you next. Every project is a new challenge, and the best skill you can have, whether you’re a provider, a consultant, or a client, is adaptability.

It’s a skill I’ve honed while getting into the weeds and fighting for my customers. The way I see it, I have Three Primary Jobs.

The First is to collect your information (pain points, needs, and operational infrastructure) and then bring the providers that best fit your needs, and then let them compete for your business.

The Second, after you’ve selected the provider, is to be your advocate and hold that provider accountable for what they say and do.

The Third is to keep my customer happy with the goal of becoming a valued part of their IT team.

Today’s Service Industries lack Accessibility, Responsiveness and Personalized Service. They use email, voice messaging and automated customer service prompts that frustrate all of us. Trying to engage the contacts that sold you the service is futile. When you work with McGarry Consulting, you get the personal attention directly from me. I am Accountable and Responsive throughout the life of the services I sell.
    
Though my business is sales & consulting, I really see myself as more of an educator. I want to help you understand the terrain you’re looking at, and if I’ve done my job right, you’ll be able to navigate it with confidence and independence with or without me.

This business is complex, and, like a lot of businesses, it doesn’t have to be. I’m here to translate it, make it intelligible for my clients, and get them the services they need most. I always tell my customers that, “My goal is to eliminate the gap between your Expectations & Reality.” Meeting that goal is what drives me, every day.

The Data & Telecom space can feel like you’re getting lost in a wilderness of available providers and options. Let me help you find your way, see the forest through the trees, and help you navigate the obstacles that are sure to hit you.
