CORE

Overview

About

CORE, also known as Core Technology Systems, is a technology services company based around Liverpool Street in London, in the City of London. The company was founded in 1990, giving it around thirty-six years of operating history, and it employs 98 people. Its chief executive is Conor Callanan. The company's published services are web development, IaaS, email security, Dynamics 365, DevOps, and data storage. Its vendor partners are SonicWall, Amazon, Apple, Barracuda, Cisco, and Dell. It can be contacted on +44 20 7626 0516, its website is www.core.co.uk, and it has a verified LinkedIn company page. The Liverpool Street location is in the eastern part of the City, one of the busiest business districts in Europe. Being founded in 1990 means CORE started trading before the public internet existed and has reinvented its services through every technology era since, from early networks to cloud computing. A team of 98 people is a solid mid-sized operation with room for specialists in development, infrastructure, and security. The chief executive, Conor Callanan, leads a company whose service list mixes software development with infrastructure and cloud, which is a broader combination than a pure support provider offers.

CORE's web development service covers designing and building websites and web applications for business use. IaaS provides virtualized computing resources as a managed service, so clients can run servers without buying hardware. On the email side, CORE filters incoming and outgoing mail for phishing attempts, impersonation, and malicious attachments. Dynamics 365 covers Microsoft's business applications for sales, customer service, finance, and operations, including setup and support. DevOps covers the engineering practices for reliable software and systems: automated testing, controlled releases, and infrastructure managed as code. Data storage covers where company information is kept and how it is protected and managed. Its partners include Cisco for networking, Dell for servers and hardware, SonicWall for firewalls, Barracuda for email and network security, Amazon for AWS cloud services, and Apple for devices. For clients, the mix of development and managed infrastructure in one company means a business can have an application built and then have the same provider run the systems it lives on. The LinkedIn page and the phone number +44 20 7626 0516 are the published contact routes.

Barracuda Networks, one of CORE's partners, makes email security gateways, web application firewalls, and backup appliances aimed at mid-sized businesses. SonicWall provides firewalls and network security appliances in a similar market. Together with Cisco networking, Dell servers, Amazon's AWS cloud, and Apple devices, the partner set covers the everyday infrastructure of a typical office: the network, the servers, the security, the cloud, and the laptops. The Liverpool Street location puts CORE in the eastern City, surrounded by the financial and professional firms that make up London's densest business district. Thirty-six years of operation means the company has served clients through the rise of the internet, the move to cloud, and the current focus on security, adapting its service list each time. The mix of web development with infrastructure services means a client can have a business application built and hosted by the same provider that looks after its network.
