Welcome to our September edition of More Core – here is our latest news roundup!
We're on a roll... CRN Channel Awards 2023
Hot on the heels of our successes at the 2023 CRN Sales & Marketing Awards - winning Best Company to Work For (sub £100m) and Best (Reseller) Marketing Campaign - we’ve been selected as finalists in three categories at the 2023 CRN Channel Awards:
> Cloud Services Provider of the Year
> Managed Service Provider of the Year; and
> Reseller of the Year (up to £30m).
The CRN Channel Awards take place in London in November, and are the most prestigious awards in the UK IT channel. We couldn’t be any prouder of these achievements, that is, until we hopefully get a win (or three)!
We would like to congratulate all the finalists for their remarkable achievements, and wish them all the best for the final round. We would also like to thank our customers who provided testimonials, and the Awards Panel for recognising the #OneCore team’s dedication to our customer success and care. We are honoured and humbled by this recognition, and we will continue to strive for excellence in everything we do.
An evening to remember at Vagabond, Shoreditch

Our Chief Operating Officer, Asif Sadiq, delivered a short, but engaging, presentation on optimising Azure spend and how to save this year with managed services. Thank you to those who have provided feedback on the event, we’re glad you had a great time and enjoyed the food, drinks and networking!
“Great event, great idea, and great execution.” – Hans Ulrik Madsen, WorkPoint 365
“Great venue, good wine and food, and a relaxed place to chat.” – Simon Beal, Angel Trains Ltd

Fancy an Azure TACO?
How would you like to reduce your cloud expenditure, whilst maximising productivity? Try our Azure TACO! The Core TACO stands for Technical Assessment and Cost Optimisation review, our NEW Azure health assessment, where we’ll review your estate and provide a detailed report on how we can help you optimise your cloud environment, and potentially save up to 40% of your cloud costs, like we did for one of our financial services customers.
Gartner reported that over 80% of businesses are likely to be overspending on cloud services, so it’s certainly worth finding out if your organisation is one of them! We’ll even run the assessment, worth thousands in value, for FREE, for eligible customers. Speak to your Account Manager to find out more, or request your TACO here.
