Your Hero for
Vendor Spend Management
With more than 30 years in the business, our career analysts supported by industry-leading automation have seen and fixed more spend problems than most teams have attempted, which is why clients stay with us longer than anyone in the industry.
Our Origin Story
After finishing her degree in Engineering Arts at Michigan State, Jane Sydlowski, joined Michigan Bell to work with B2B start-up clients while also earning her MBA from Wayne State University.
When Michigan Bell restructured in 1991, Sydlowski chose to depart and create her own company, American Megacom, Inc. (aka “AMI”), challenging the industry’s misleading sales and marketing tactics.
Over 30 years later, AMI Strategies serves clients on every continent, offering a global suite of solutions for Telecom, Mobility, Cloud, Utility, ServiceNow, and Managed Automation deployments – all powered by cutting-edge technology and automation.
Our platform is designed to manage any vendor that’s important to our customers – no matter what category it’s in.
By establishing inventory that includes integrated data from vendors and enterprise systems, auditing charges against correlating contracts, automating allocations and payments, and centralizing how services are purchased, changed or decommissioned, AMI ensures our clients never waste time on vendor-related busywork, and never pay more than they’re supposed to.
A Letter From The CEO
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about our unique little firm.
I founded American Megacom Inc. (AMI) in 1991 because I saw fellow businesses in my community being misled by a new wave of interexchange carriers flooding the marketplace.
With no shortage of “guidance” that my little startup would not last the year, it is very humbling to tell you that in 2021 AMI celebrated its 30th year of providing governance confidence and understanding of spend with our clients’ most expensive service providers and vendors.
Despite our growth, we are still regarded by our clients and partners as nimble, flexible and easy to do business with – which I attribute to our original guiding principles which still ring true today:
- Respect for the Individual
- Team Mentality
- Commitment to Quality & Integrity
- Always Be Dynamic, Responsive & Adaptive
Throughout the journey, AMI has held a technology-forward philosophy, bringing multiple Industry 4.0 technologies into production to deliver a world class customer experience through hyperautomation.
And while we are proud of our existing vendor-automation milestones, we are even more excited about what the future brings as we continue to test and bring new technologies into production.
We look forward to the opportunity to earn your business through the same honesty, expertise, flexibility and technical acumen that has helped us serve the Fortune 1000 for the past three decades.
Sincerely,
Jane Sydlowski, CEO, AMI Strategies
