Calgary IT company since 2000
Most IT companies in Calgary either keep your systems running or write your software. CoreData does both, from one team — which is why our clients stop coordinating between two vendors who blame each other.
Choosing a provider
Most providers in this market look similar on a website. These are the questions that actually separate them.
Ask whether support is delivered by the company you are signing with, or subcontracted to an overseas help desk. Ask for the escalation path in writing. A provider that cannot describe what happens after hours has not thought about it.
Many providers carry vendor quotas that shape their recommendations. Ask why a specific platform is being proposed and what the alternatives were. The answer should reference your requirement, not a partner tier.
Not every business wants to replace its internal hire. Co-managed arrangements — where a provider handles monitoring, security, and after-hours while your person keeps the relationships and project work — are common, and should be offered without friction.
This is where most IT companies stop and hand you a list of products. If your operation depends on a process no vendor sells software for, a provider that cannot build will keep recommending workarounds indefinitely.
What makes CoreData different
CoreData has operated as both an IT services provider and a software company since 2000. That combination is unusual in Calgary, and it changes what we can do when the obvious answer is not good enough.
When a client problem turns out to be a manual process rather than a server, we are not obliged to pretend otherwise.

Software & AI →Common questions
CoreData provides two connected lines of work: managed IT, cybersecurity, and IT consulting for business technology; and custom software, system integration, and AI automation for business processes. Most Calgary IT companies do one or the other.
Since 2000. CoreData Incorporated is headquartered at 625 14 St NW in Calgary, and has supported Western Canadian businesses for more than two decades.
Both. Engagements range from co-managed support alongside a single internal IT hire, to fully outsourced IT for companies with no technical staff at all.
Independent. Platforms are chosen to fit the requirement rather than a resale agreement, and the reasoning behind each recommendation is documented so you can challenge it.
CoreData is Calgary-based and focused on Calgary and the surrounding area. Industrial and field work is carried out at client sites across Alberta.
