Michigan-based technology solutions provider strengthens New Charter’s expertise in regulated industries and security-first services
New Charter Technologies, a portfolio company of Palo Alto-based private equity firm Oval Partners, has announced that NetSource One, a Michigan-based technology solutions provider serving regulated and security-conscious organizations, has joined the New Charter platform.
Founded in 1999, NetSource One has spent nearly three decades helping organizations solve real IT challenges. Today, the company supports more than 700 clients across healthcare, finance, government, education, legal, manufacturing, and distribution, with more than 75 employees now joining the New Charter community.
For Andy Skrzypczak, president of NetSource One, the decision to join New Charter was less about “scale for scale’s sake” and more about protecting what mattered most.
“We looked at a lot of options, and most of them came with tradeoffs we weren’t willing to make,” said Skrzypczak. “We didn’t want to change who we are, disrupt our team, or put client relationships at risk. New Charter was different. It gave us the ability to stay close to our people and our customers, while gaining access to resources and expertise that make us stronger.”
NetSource One brings deep experience supporting highly regulated environments, including long-standing SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance, as well as CJIS authorization that allows its engineers to support law enforcement and criminal justice systems. Preserving this operational autonomy was a critical factor in the partnership.
“Our compliance posture isn’t something you can bolt on after the fact,” said Ed French, vice president of NetSource One. “It’s embedded in how we operate, how our teams are trained, and how we serve our clients. New Charter understood that from day one. We’re able to maintain our certifications and controls, while also benefiting from shared security strategy, peer collaboration, and advanced services across the platform.”
French also pointed to the cultural alignment between the two organizations as a deciding factor.
“We asked a lot of hard questions,” French said. “What stood out was the honesty and openness. There was no pressure to gloss over challenges. That kind of transparency told us this was a place where we could belong and contribute.”
For Skrzypczak, employee continuity was just as critical as client experience when evaluating potential partners.
“We saw plenty of models that involved changing names, changing systems, and changing leadership,” Skrzypczak said. “That was never going to work for us. Our responsibility was to lead in a way that took care of our team and the clients who trust them. New Charter allowed us to do that without compromise.”
Through New Charter, NetSource One gains access to advanced platform services and specialized expertise, including emerging areas like automation and AI-driven solutions, without forcing clients to manage new vendor relationships.
“Our clients don’t want more complexity,” said Skrzypczak. “They want better outcomes. This partnership lets us bring new capabilities to the table, through people they already trust.”
Peter Melby, CEO of New Charter Technologies, said NetSource One exemplifies the type of company New Charter is built to support.
“Andy, Ed, and their team have built something special over decades, with deep trust, serious technical rigor, and a culture that puts people first,” Melby said. “They didn’t join New Charter to give that up. They joined to build on it. NetSource One strengthens our platform, particularly in regulated industries, and we’re excited for the value they will add as we build a stronger future together.”
NetSource One will continue operating under its existing leadership, serving clients with the same team and approach that has defined the company for nearly 30 years.
