It all started in late 2001 when my brother Scotty Chabert and I (Ethan Chabert) were working at Hibernia National Bank. He was designing server rooms, heading up technology conversions for acquisitions and leading technical teams across multiple states. I was a network engineer with disaster recovery and bank security responsibilities. Scotty and I were walking between buildings downtown coming from a corporate meeting when he told me, “I think we could really help out local businesses by starting our own IT consulting company.”

Of course, this got my wheels spinning, and the conversation extended to our commute home. Over the next few months, we continued the discussion on our morning and evening commutes until in May 2002 when we decided to go for it and filed the paperwork to officially start CORE Networks.

We provided computer support, cyber security, contingency planning, networking and cabling to the businesses in our community as these were the skills we gained while working at a Fortune 500 bank. Our client base quickly grew and once we started working with businesses, they never left our services.

In 2005, we decided to start offering our CORE Complete Care program which makes us the longest running managed services provider in the Greater New Orleans, Northshore and Baton Rouge markets. This unique service provides our clients peace of mind knowing we are handling every aspect of their computer maintenance and cyber security.

Although we have been working on internal telephone systems since our inception, we decided to become a full telephone service provider in 2014 to deliver consistently quality voice services to our clients from their desk phones to the entire telephone system through our redundant cloud infrastructure.

Considering the growing cyber security threats in our world, we completely re-vamped our CORE Complete Care solution in 2017 with multiple layers of protections including Cloud Based DNS security, Employee Cyber Security Training, Deep Web Monitoring, Advanced Email Scanning and Threat Intelligence Services. This new solution provides the protections our clients need to fortify their business against attacks from ever evolving cyber security threats.

Looking back, I would say we have achieved our original goal of helping local businesses with their technology. Let’s make a new goal together to get your business technology working for you. Give us a call today to get started.
