About Datacharlie MSP
A global IT partner with local roots in Africa
Since 2011 we have helped businesses, schools, governments and non-profits use technology with confidence, from Wake Forest, North Carolina to Monrovia, Accra, Freetown, Kigali and Kampala.
Our story
Datacharlie began with a simple idea: organizations in Africa deserve the same reliable, secure IT that companies in the United States take for granted. Today we are a full managed service provider with engineers and partners in six countries.
We combine remote monitoring and management (RMM) from our global operations with on-site teams who know local networks, suppliers and challenges. Our clients get one accountable partner for support, security, connectivity and digital growth.
What we stand for
Security first
Every system we touch is built and run with security in mind.
Partnership
We assess your needs, agree a fair fee together and stay accountable.
Local and global
International standards delivered by people who know your city.
Sharing knowledge
Training and events that grow digital skills in our communities.
