“What attracted me to Corsica the most was the predictable billing. Whether it was break/fix issues or projects, I knew we wouldn’t have capital expenditures. We could actually get things done that we had band-aided.”

Methodology for comparing Corsica Technologies and Thrive

Our evaluation balances comprehensive IT support capabilities with cybersecurity maturity. Our methodology is designed to elevate integrated service providers over specialized, siloed vendors. This way, customers can get all their technology services from one provider, reducing vendor count and streamlining operations and budgeting.

Criteria overview

Our selection criteria evaluate providers across five dimensions:

  • Service breadth and depth: Includes cybersecurity, compliance, IT, AI, consulting, data integration, EDI, and digital transformation capabilities.
  • Cybersecurity outcomes: Focus on rapid detection, efficient response, and measurable risk reduction.
  • Client satisfaction and social proof: Incorporates recommendation ratings and verified testimonials.
  • Predictable pricing: Favor billing models with predictable, flat-rate monthly pricing.
  • Ideal customer size: Evaluate suitability for small businesses, midmarket, and enterprise companies.

Scoring and weighting system

Our scoring model distributes 100% across 15 weighted categories. If a service or feature is unavailable, the provider receives a score of zero for that attribute. The provider can receive a partial score for average review ratings, in which case the percentage out of 5 is multiplied by the full possible score for that attribute.

Here are the attributes and the points weighted to each.

“Corsica didn’t come in and say, here’s what we can do for you, we can get rid of your IT dept. No, they want to work hand in hand with you and be a partner. It fits our model to a T.”
