Who We are

i-core networks was founded on the principle of putting our customers' values and priorities first. Since 1999, we have been a trusted name in the technology advisory and brokerage industry, continuously evolving to align with the latest trends and meet the unique needs of our clients.

We maintain top-tier partnerships with a diverse range of technology vendors across all major technology domains, including (but not limited to): cloud-based phone systems, call center solutions, cloud services, cost optimization, mobility, internet providers, equipment, managed service providers, cybersecurity, software, and cabling. Our approach is strategy-driven, focusing on aligning our clients' business and technology needs. Through collaboration and thought leadership, we provide education on best-in-class vendors, empowering our clients to make informed, impactful decisions.

What We Do

i-core networks is dedicated to simplifying the complexities of technology vendor management by serving as a trusted one-stop shop for our clients. We understand the challenges IT and cybersecurity departments face in keeping up with the ever-evolving features of existing vendors and the emergence of new players in the marketplace. These demands can stretch resources thin, making it difficult to focus on strategic priorities. Beyond vendor alignment, we provide continuous guidance and support, helping clients navigate vendor negotiations, evaluate new technologies, and integrate solutions seamlessly into their operations. Our mission is to empower IT and cybersecurity teams with the tools and knowledge they need to drive efficiency, innovation, and long-term success.

How We Do It

Our process begins with creating a comprehensive technology roadmap in collaboration with our experienced engineers. This roadmap is designed to deeply understand our clients' current state, their ideal technology environment, and their long-term vision for the future. By establishing a baseline of the existing ecosystem, we conduct a thorough review of vendors, contracts, pain points, and costs. This approach provides us with a holistic snapshot of each client’s unique landscape. From this foundation, we engage in in-depth discussions to identify specific projects and areas of opportunity. These conversations are not just about addressing immediate challenges but also about crafting a forward-looking strategy that aligns with the client’s business goals. Together, we develop a detailed plan of action that prioritizes both immediate needs and future aspirations. Additionally, we offer ongoing support and guidance to ensure the roadmap evolves alongside our clients' business growth and technological advancements. Our goal is to deliver not just solutions but a partnership that drives long-term success and innovation.
