Frequently Asked Questions

What makes New Charter different from other IT providers?

Most IT providers can solve technical problems. We focus on helping businesses move forward.

You’ll work with a local team that understands your people, your business, and your community. Behind them is the broader New Charter network, giving you access to specialists across cybersecurity, cloud, AI, infrastructure, compliance, and more whenever they’re needed.

You never have to choose between personal service and broader expertise. You get both.

How do you make sure technology supports our business goals?

Technology should support the business, not dictate it.

That’s why we start by understanding where you’re headed before recommending solutions. Through our discovery process, we learn your priorities, identify what’s slowing you down, and build a technology roadmap that aligns with your goals.

Sometimes that means implementing something new. Sometimes it means simplifying what you already have.

What services does New Charter provide?

We offer a broad range of technology services designed to help organizations operate more efficiently, strengthen security, and prepare for what’s next. Our services include:

  • Core IT Services – Managed IT, co-managed IT, 24/7 support, IT outsourcing, managed cloud services, and Microsoft solutions.
  • AI – AI strategy, enablement, custom AI solutions, and intelligent automation that solve real business challenges.
  • Strategic Services – Business consulting, document management, and technology planning that aligns IT with your business goals.
  • Advanced Cybersecurity – Proactive security services through Cyber74, including threat detection, risk management, compliance, and incident response.

Whether you need day-to-day IT support, guidance on a major initiative, or a long-term technology partner, we’ll help you turn technology into a competitive advantage.

Can you work with our internal IT team?

Absolutely.

Many clients already have talented internal IT staff. Our co-managed IT services are designed to complement your team, not replace it.

Whether you need additional capacity, specialized expertise, or help with larger projects, we become an extension of your team and scale our involvement based on what you need.

Can you support cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments?

Yes.

Every business is different, and so is every technology environment. We support cloud-first, fully on-premises, and hybrid infrastructures, helping you modernize at a pace that makes sense for your business.

No pressure to move everything to the cloud overnight.

Can you help us move to the cloud?

Yes. We handle the planning, migration, security, testing, and ongoing support.

Whether you’re moving a single application or your entire environment, we’ll help you minimize disruption and make sure the transition works for your users, not just your infrastructure.

How does New Charter approach cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity isn’t a product you buy once. It’s something you continuously improve.

Our security specialists at Cyber74 help organizations reduce risk through layered security, proactive monitoring, endpoint protection, employee awareness training, vulnerability management, compliance support, and incident response planning.

The goal is simple: reduce risk, strengthen resilience, and help you stay ahead of evolving threats.

Do you offer compliance support?

Yes.

We help organizations navigate compliance requirements including HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, CMMC, and other industry-specific frameworks.

Whether you’re preparing for an audit or building a long-term compliance program, our team can help you understand the requirements and implement practical solutions that support them.

Which industries do you specialize in?

We work with organizations across many industries, with deep experience in areas such as:

  • Healthcare
  • Legal
  • Manufacturing
  • Education
  • Government
  • Nonprofit
  • Professional Services

Every industry has unique operational challenges and compliance requirements. Our teams understand those differences and tailor solutions accordingly.

How quickly can you respond when something goes wrong?

Fast.

Our clients have access to 24/7 support, continuous monitoring, and local teams backed by nationwide resources. Many issues are resolved remotely, while on-site support is available when needed.

When technology gets in the way of your business, our priority is getting you back to work.

What's included in managed IT services?

While every engagement is tailored, managed services commonly include:

  • Help desk support
  • 24/7 monitoring
  • Patch management
  • Endpoint management
  • Network administration
  • Cybersecurity protections
  • Backup & disaster recovery
  • Strategic IT planning

Think of it as having an experienced IT team that’s proactively working to keep your business running smoothly.

How do you help businesses grow?

As businesses grow, technology becomes more complex.

Our role is to make sure your IT keeps pace, whether you’re opening new locations, adding employees, improving security, adopting AI, modernizing infrastructure, or planning for what’s next.

We build technology strategies that can grow alongside your business instead of forcing you to start over every few years.

How do I get started?

It starts with a conversation.

We’ll learn about your business, your current technology, and what you’d like to accomplish. From there, we’ll recommend a practical path forward, whether that’s a quick assessment, a sit-down consultative session, or a broader technology roadmap.

No pressure, just a good conversation.

I'm an MSP. Can we partner with New Charter?

We’re always interested in meeting exceptional managed service providers that share our commitment to client relationships, technical excellence, and long-term growth.

If you’re exploring what’s next for your business, we’d love to start a conversation.

How is New Charter different from a traditional local MSP?

We think the best IT relationships are built locally. That’s why you’ll work with a team that knows your business, understands your market, and is invested in your success.

The difference is what sits behind that local team.

As part of New Charter, they can tap into a nationwide network of specialists across cybersecurity, cloud, AI, networking, compliance, consulting, and more. So when your business faces a new challenge, expands into new markets, or needs expertise outside the day-to-day, you don’t have to start searching for another partner.

You keep the trusted relationships you’ve built, with access to broader capabilities whenever you need them.

Can you scale with us as our business grows?

Oh yes.

In fact, many of our clients come to us because they’ve outgrown what their previous IT provider could support.

Whether you’re opening new locations, hiring rapidly, expanding into new markets, acquiring another business, or preparing for what’s next, your technology should help make that growth easier, not create more obstacles.

Because every New Charter team is backed by a nationwide network of specialists and resources, we can grow alongside you. That means adding expertise when you need it, supporting more users and locations, strengthening security, or helping navigate new compliance requirements, all while keeping the trusted local relationships you’ve built.

Can you support businesses with multiple locations?

Absolutely.

Whether you have two offices or dozens spread across the country, we can help create a consistent technology experience across every location while still providing local support where it matters.

Our teams work together across the New Charter network to deliver standardized processes, shared expertise, and scalable solutions without losing the local relationships that keep things running smoothly.

As your business grows, your IT partner should be able to grow with you.

Do I have to replace all of my existing technology?

Usually not.

We start by understanding what you already have, what’s working well, and where the biggest opportunities are. In many cases, we can build on your existing investments rather than replacing everything.

Sometimes the best solution is new technology. Other times it’s improving processes, strengthening security, or helping your current tools work better together.

Our goal isn’t to recommend the newest technology for the sake of it. It’s to help you make smart technology decisions that support your business.

Can you help us adopt AI responsibly?

Yes, but we won’t recommend AI just because it’s popular.

We help organizations identify where AI can create real business value, whether that’s improving internal processes, automating repetitive work, strengthening customer experiences, or building custom solutions for specific business needs.

Just as importantly, we help you think through governance, security, privacy, and change management so AI is implemented thoughtfully and responsibly.

For some organizations, that starts with a strategy session. For others, it’s building custom AI solutions or integrating AI into existing workflows. Either way, we focus on practical outcomes that make sense for your business.
