Business of Tech | Big AI Move: New Charter Technologies Bets on Automation with Orchestrate AI Labs Deal

New Charter Technologies has acquired Orchestrate AI Labs, an innovative company focused on integrating artificial intelligence into managed service provider operations. This strategic acquisition aims to enhance New Charter’s capabilities by combining human expertise with AI automation, positioning the company to lead in the evolving IT landscape. Peter Melby, CEO of New Charter, expressed excitement about leveraging Orchestrate AI’s technology and team. Ryan Barton, the CEO of Orchestrate AI, has joined New Charter as Chief Innovation Officer, emphasizing the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in the managed service provider industry.

Why do we care?

New Charter Technologies’ acquisition of Orchestrate AI Labs signals a growing trend in the AI-driven transformation of MSP operations. This move isn’t just about adding AI capabilities; it’s about positioning New Charter as a leader in AI-powered service delivery. The MSP industry is under increasing pressure to improve efficiency, automate repetitive tasks, and enhance cybersecurity, and this acquisition indicates that AI will play a central role in addressing these challenges.

MSPs should assess where AI can enhance service delivery, such as automated ticket resolution, predictive analytics, and security threat detection.

Then, develop an AI implementation plan. AI adoption needs a strategy. Start small with automation pilots, measure results, and gradually scale AI-driven operations.

Finally, monitor industry trends and competitor moves. New Charter is making a bold move, but they won’t be the last. MSPs should track how AI-driven service models evolve and prepare to adopt competitive strategies accordingly.
