A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Noura Al Mansoori / Engineering Manager | Oct 01, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We partnered with Core Plus Design to connect our equipment to a cloud dashboard so we could monitor it remotely. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The project took roughly 9 months from kickoff to launch.

Skilled IT Managed Services Team That Understood Our Business

Mark Miller / Owner | Aug 07, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Our company worked with Core Plus Design to take over day-to-day IT support for our offices. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. We worked together for around 9 months.

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Zoe Stewart / Marketing Director | Mar 22, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Core Plus Design. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

Core Plus Design was brought in to provide ongoing monitoring and support for our cloud infrastructure. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. Overall it was a 7-month engagement.
