BanaTech helps companies buy the right technology. Cascade helps them run their strategy. Together, they give organizations both.
GLOBAL — March 6, 2026
Cascade, the AI-powered platform for Strategy-Led Performance, today announced a strategic partnership with BanaTech Consulting, a boutique technology advisory firm that helps enterprise and mid-market organizations procure, optimize, and extract lasting value from technology investments.
BanaTech begins every engagement by defining what the business actually needs before vendors enter the conversation. The firm calls this the Reverse RFP, a buyer-first process where requirements are defined by operational context rather than vendor momentum. This approach reduces wasted evaluation cycles, strengthens negotiating leverage, and ensures technology decisions are made based on long-term fit and measurable business impact.
Through its evaluation of the strategy execution market for its clients, BanaTech identified Cascade as a strong platform for helping executives measure whether strategic initiatives are translating into operational results. Incorporating Cascade into the BanaTech advisory portfolio allows clients to connect technology investment decisions with real-time visibility into strategic execution.
"We’ve partnered with Cascade to provide our clients with an operational operating rhythm. It ensures that the technology we help them procure isn’t just ‘in place,’ but is actively driving the strategic outcomes the board expects," remarked Bana Qashu, Managing Partner & Founder at BanaTech Consulting, LLC.
Many organizations treat technology procurement and strategy management as separate exercises. Decisions are often made by different teams at different times, and the connection between investment and outcomes gets lost. This partnership addresses that gap: BanaTech ensures the right technology is selected for the right reasons, while Cascade provides visibility into whether those decisions are delivering against strategic objectives.
"BanaTech's clients arrive knowing exactly what they need and why," said Tom Milligan, Director of Global Alliances at Cascade. "That's the right starting point for everything Cascade does next. Most organizations are still trying to execute strategy with tools they bought for the wrong reasons."
This partnership expands Cascade's network with a firm that works at the earliest stage of the technology decision — making it one of the few partnerships that shapes how clients arrive at Cascade, not just what they do once they're there.
