Service Providers

Helping service providers 
turn strategy into measurable outcomes.

Complex environments need more than just a vendor. We help service providers define future-state objectives and establish the operational structure required to achieve measurable business, operational, and planning outcomes.

The Reality

The network you designed isn't always the network you're operating.

Service provider networks evolve one change at a time. A temporary workaround becomes permanent. Platforms stay longer than planned. Configurations drift, dependencies go undocumented, and critical knowledge lives with the people operating the network.

Over time, that creates distance between design intent, documented state and operational reality. Network programs rarely fail because the end-state design is impossible. They stall when vendor timelines and operational change windows are discovered too late. That distance often isn't visible until modernization begins. Charter helps uncover it early across infrastructure, people and process, then builds what we find into the architecture and delivery plan.

WHERE CHARTER HELPS

Our capabilities, applied to your network.

Network, infrastructure & core services modernization

DNS, DHCP, IPAM and AAA run in separate systems that don't talk to each other, so the same information gets maintained in several places and any change means touching all of them.

OUR SERVICE OFFERINGS

DDI Modernization

DNS, DHCP and IPAM consolidation

AAA and access services

NetOps Enablement

Service launch and support systems

A new service needs technologies from several manufacturers, plus provisioning, assurance and billing to carry it once it's live. Each piece is tested on its own and the integration between them belongs to nobody.

OUR SERVICE OFFERINGS

OSS/BSS Alignment

Systems Integration

Multi-vendor architecture

Provisioning and assurance

Security operations

Firewalls, intrusion detection, DDoS protection and endpoint controls come from different manufacturers, and correlating an incident across them falls to whoever is on that night.

OUR SERVICE OFFERINGS

Security architecture

Security Monitoring

Threat detection and response

DDoS protection

Operational visibility and planning data

Telemetry, flow data and logs sit in the platforms that generated them, so capacity decisions get made from whatever someone could assemble in time.

OUR SERVICE OFFERINGS

Managed observability

Operational visibility programs

Telemetry and flow data integration

Capacity forecasting

Technology sourcing & vendor management

Each manufacturer is a separate relationship, negotiated and renewed on its own terms, and a fault crossing two of them becomes a coordination job before it becomes a fix.

OUR SERVICE OFFERINGS

Vendor management

Sourcing and fulfilment

Hardware and licensing

Manufacturer support escalation

Assessment, roadmap and investment planning

The plan for the next three years exists, but nothing connects it to what's actually deployed, so each initiative gets justified on its own and finance compares them without a common basis.

OUR SERVICE OFFERINGS

Current-state assessments

Documentation governance

Modernization roadmaps

Gap analysis

OUR APPROACH

How we move a network from assessment to steady state.

ASSESS & ALIGN

We validate what's actually running before defining what's next

We understand the business, operational and planning outcomes you need, then assess the network as it stands today: what exists, what's working, what's missing, and the gaps, dependencies and constraints sitting underneath it. From there, we work with you to define and agree on priorities, requirements, information ownership, governance, and the direction that moves the program forward.

DESIGN

We define the target direction from what's been validated

We translate what's been validated into an integrated architecture across operations, information, applications, platforms and network infrastructure, defining how the environment needs to work together to get you to the outcomes you need.

DELIVER

Establishing the Day-1 foundation

We deliver the prioritized capabilities, information, integrations and operational controls needed to get early value in place, creating the foundation for the improvements that follow.

OPERATE

We operationalize the change, then evolve it as priorities shift

We embed new capabilities into people, processes, governance, roles and operational practices, establishing ownership so the changes become part of day-to-day operations. Then we measure outcomes and use operational evidence to progressively improve services, processes, information, applications, infrastructure, visibility and automation as business priorities and requirements evolve.

The Team

We've done this before, on networks like yours.

Small enough that you know who has your file. Experienced enough that they have built this before, across core network architecture, vendor selection and multi-domain delivery.
