How We Structure Our Vendor Relationships

At IRD and System Admin Insights, we operate on a simple principle:

Our recommendations are never influenced by vendor payments.

Below is how we work with vendors, for IRD clients and for SAI members.

For IRD Clients

When we suggest a tool, integration, or approach, it’s based on what we believe will work best for your organization, not what generates revenue for us.

IRD does not accept referral commissions, affiliate payments, incentives or kickbacks from vendors.

For SAI Members

Your membership supports a vendor-neutral learning community.

Vendors may participate in curated educational sessions, but SAI never sells endorsements, outcomes, or access to member decisions. Participation does not imply recommendation or preferred status.

If we feature a product or invite a guest, it’s because we believe the conversation will be valuable for our community members.
