Is Core12 Private Equity backed?
No. Unlike ProviDyn, Integris, 360 Smart Networks, Core12 is 100% independent. We don't cut corners to dress up the books for a sale. Our focus is entirely on delivering value to our clients, not investors.
Core12 vs. The Market
Most MSPs in Atlanta are IT support-first, security-light, and automation-absent. Core12 is one of the very few that delivers all four pillars—without PE backing, buzzwords, or roadmap promises.
The Four Pillars That Matter
When evaluating an IT partner, most firms focus on helpdesk response times. But the real question is: can they deliver across all four pillars?
Value
Enterprise capability at mid-market pricing
IT Excellence
Proactive management, not just break-fix
Security (MSSP)
MDR, CMMC readiness, real protection
AI Automation
Intelligent workflows, not just promises
The uncomfortable truth: Most competitors score "High" in one pillar, "Medium" in another, and "Low" everywhere else. Core12 is the rare provider that delivers High across all four—because we built the company that way from day one.
