What we can do
Proxmox, Grommunio, Linux, pfSense – together, many years of hands-on experience in virtualisation, groupware and networking. We work productively with what we recommend.
About us · Vienna · Austria
One provider. One point of contact. One opinion.
CorePoint is an owner-managed IT services company based in Vienna. Behind the name there is no team of 25 employees – but one owner who knows your environment, understands your problems and carries out the projects personally. When you call, you reach me directly.
What we are not
No self-run 24/7 data centre, no 50-seat helpdesk. The operation of your systems runs via vetted data centre partners – with up to 99.9% availability, managed by CorePoint.
What we stand for
Open source, because it is transparent and durable. Direct contact, because IT projects need trust. Documentation, because you should be able to run the environment without me.
What we don't stand for
Marketing speak that says nothing. Lock-in – not even from us. Big promises we cannot keep. Forced vendor changes nobody needs.
How you can measure me
Four benchmarks I hold myself to
You understand what's happening
Every decision is explained, every change documented. No black box, no "you'll have to trust us".
You can leave at any time
Architecture, documentation and access belong to you. If you no longer need me, your environment keeps running anyway.
I say so when something doesn't fit
Not every problem is a contract. Sometimes the most honest recommendation is not to do something at all, or to work with someone else.
You pay for results, not for time
Wherever possible I work with fixed prices. If billing by effort makes more sense, that effort is reported regularly – not only at the end.
Large vendors
- Several contacts per phase
- A sales department separates you from the technology
- Standardised packages, often oversized
- Premium support at extra cost, often mandatory
- Lock-in through proprietary platforms
CorePoint
- One point of contact – from the first call to the handover
- Direct line, no sales filter
- Solutions that fit your needs
- Open source, documented, traceable
- Architecture that can move with you
Attitude
Four guidelines
Open source first
We prefer open-source software because it is transparent, auditable and built to last.
No licence traps
Solutions are designed so that no dependency on individual vendors arises – switching away remains possible at any time.
Lean & focused
As an owner-managed company we work without unnecessary hierarchy – direct, committed and with one clear point of contact.
Documented & traceable
Every environment is built so that it remains understandable – for us and for your company's IT.
Would you like to meet me?
30 minutes is enough for a first conversation. You describe your situation, I tell you whether and how I can help – and if not, where you should turn instead.
