Managed IT for Port Charlotte and Charlotte County
Port Charlotte's medical offices, law firms, dealerships, and service businesses along Tamiami Trail, Kings Highway, and Murdock depend on systems that work, usually without anyone on staff whose job is IT. Punta Gorda adds professional offices and practices that need the same thing on the other side of the harbor.
The Network Gurus is a veteran-owned managed IT provider based in Englewood, a short drive up SR-776 from Port Charlotte. We route technicians through Charlotte County regularly, so on-site visits are same or next business day, with faster response for an active outage. Your staff reach a technician by phone in about 2 minutes.

Built for storm country
Charlotte County learned in 2022 what a direct hit does to a business that keeps everything on one server in one building. Every managed client gets backups kept off site and tested, phones and email that work from anywhere, and a written recovery plan that says what comes back first. Before a storm we check in with every client; afterward we're on the road as soon as it's safe.
Common first-month fixes in Charlotte County offices
- Backups stored in the same building as the server they protect
- A phone system that dies with the office power and internet
- Shared logins with no multi-factor authentication
- Former employees still able to read company email
