Bellwether is now serving the Charlotte, North Carolina business community. Below is the full announcement, originally published in the Charlotte Business Journal. 

(New Orleans, LA — May 5, 2025) Bellwether Technology Corporation, a managed IT services provider headquartered in New Orleans, is expanding into the Charlotte, North Carolina market. With over 40 years of experience helping organizations use technology to fuel growth, Bellwether is bringing its high-touch, forward-thinking approach to more businesses in the Southeast.

Charlotte’s business landscape is evolving rapidly, especially in finance, tech, and manufacturing. Many companies have outgrown local IT providers that can’t scale with them, but don’t want to work with national firms that treat them like a number. Bellwether offers a better path — combining enterprise-grade capabilities with the kind of personal attention and long-term thinking that growing companies need.

Leading Bellwether’s presence in the Charlotte region is Eli Montague. Eli has deep roots in the area, with lineage on both sides of his family going back more than four generations. His strong ties to the community have provided invaluable insight into the region’s needs, helping Bellwether tailor its services to better serve Charlotte’s growing businesses.

“I’ve had many conversations with Charlotte business leaders who are frustrated with IT providers that either lack scale or lose their edge after a buyout,” said Eli. “Bellwether brings something different to the table — a stable, strategic approach backed by a deep technical bench. That’s exactly what many companies in this market have been looking for.”

What sets Bellwether apart is its deep bench of specialized expertise and a proven model that helps businesses connect technology decisions to business outcomes. Clients are supported by a 60+ person team with expertise in cybersecurity, cloud, compliance, and emerging technologies like AI — all coordinated through a local contact and backed by responsive, personalized service.

“Charlotte is full of growing businesses with big goals,” said Steven Ellis, CEO of Bellwether. “We’re here to help them reach those goals with the right technology and the right guidance — whether that means tightening cybersecurity, planning for scale, or exploring where AI can add real value.”

“Everything we do is built on trust, accountability, and long-term thinking, backed by a level of technical expertise that most providers can’t offer,” said Merrick Sloss, President. “We’ve built lasting partnerships across the Gulf South, and we’re bringing that same high standard to Charlotte.”

Bellwether serves organizations in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and professional services with fully managed and co-managed IT services, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, and compliance support.
