A Managed Intelligence Provider (MIP) embeds intelligence into your technology stack and workflows to reduce labor, eliminate errors, and remove friction. Core12 has been guiding clients toward this model since our founding—before "AI" became a buzzword.
Core12 was founded with a forward-looking belief: IT should drive operational efficiency, not just uptime.
From day one, our mission has been to move clients toward a future-state technology stack that reduces manual work, eliminates process friction, and uses automation to improve how the business actually runs. Managed IT and managed security were always foundational layers—not the end goal.
AI automation, workflow optimization, and intelligent systems were always the destination. The market is now catching up to what we've been building for over a decade. The term "Managed Intelligence Provider" simply gives the right name to how Core12 has always operated.

AI & Automation
This is what makes Core12 a Managed Intelligence Provider. We deploy AI automation, redesign workflows, implement agent/copilot systems, and streamline business processes—with measurable efficiency gains.
Core12's Managed Intelligence Provider model is built for growing firms (typically 50–500 employees) that want:
A Managed Intelligence Provider (MIP) is a technology partner that embeds automation and AI into a company's operations on top of a reliable IT and security foundation. Unlike traditional MSPs that focus on uptime and support, an MIP actively reduces labor, eliminates process friction, and delivers measurable efficiency gains through intelligent systems.
An MSP (Managed Service Provider) keeps your IT systems running through monitoring, maintenance, and help desk support. An MIP includes all MSP capabilities but goes further—applying automation and AI to transform business workflows, reduce manual work, and continuously improve how your organization operates.
Yes. Managed IT operations and managed security are the foundation of Core12's Managed Intelligence Provider model. Every MIP engagement includes endpoint management, cloud operations, identity management, MDR, SIEM, Zero Trust, and CMMC-aligned compliance. Intelligence and automation are layered on top of this hardened foundation.
Core12 automates onboarding and offboarding, approval workflows, reporting and compliance documentation, ticket triage and escalation, security incident response, procurement and provisioning, and back-office operations. If it's repetitive and rule-based, it can likely be automated.
We track time saved, error reduction, throughput improvements, and cost avoidance. Every automation project includes baseline metrics and ongoing measurement. Clients typically see ROI within 90 days through reduced labor hours, faster cycle times, and fewer manual errors.
