FAQ

Frequently  asked questions

There are plenty of advisory firms out there. But when the stakes are high, you need more than advice — you need the right partner. Here’s what IT leaders ask us when they’re looking for more than just a consulting firm.

Still have questions? Let’s talk through it.

How is Coreio different from a typical consulting firm?

Most consulting firms deliver strategy on paper. We deliver strategy that works in real environments. Coreio’s advisors have led IT organizations — not just analyzed them. We bring a practitioner’s mindset, with the ability to both guide your roadmap and help your team execute it. That means fewer buzzwords, more value, and faster impact.

How do you go beyond what our internal teams already know?

We bring a fresh perspective backed by deep operational experience. Because we’re not part of the day-to-day, we can spot patterns, gaps, and blind spots that internal teams are often too close to see: whether it’s missed handoffs, unclear accountability, overlapping tools, or slow-burning risks.

We also benchmark what we see against other complex environments, so you’re not just optimizing internally - you’re raising the bar.

Most importantly, we don’t just call out the issues, we help you prioritize what matters and build a plan to fix it.

How do you handle pushback from internal teams or resistance to change?

We’ve navigated it. Our advisors are experienced in working across stakeholders — from infrastructure and security leads to legal, procurement, and the board. We help you build alignment, not friction. And because we don’t come in with a one-size-fits-all methodology, teams are more likely to trust and adopt the path forward.

We don’t need another binder of recommendations. How do you make sure strategy turns into action?

We design with execution in mind. Everything we propose is tied to practical outcomes, stakeholder alignment, and tools you actually use — including ServiceNow. If your team doesn’t have capacity to follow through, we can stay engaged to help drive the plan forward. We’re not here to hand things off, we’re here to help you get results.

Do you offer long-term strategic partnerships, or is this a one-off engagement?

We offer both.

Some clients bring us in for targeted reviews — like an ITAM maturity assessment, a BCP refresh, or a third-party risk framework. Others retain us as ongoing strategic advisors (including vCISO support). We scale our advisory model to match your needs, your goals, and your internal capacity.
