About Computer Consultants Group

Computer Consultants Group, Inc. (CCG) was founded in the Lowcountry by two friends who worked together at a computer dealership. Frustrated with selling a limited range of computer hardware and software, tired of being pressured to sell new products, and disillusioned by the priority of revenue over quality, they realized there had to be a better way. They created Computer Consultants Group to provide great advice and computer support services, and to help customers acquire the best systems and software available. More importantly, they want to serve customers by getting to know them, their business, and their needs. Over 25 years later CCG continues to provide computer support and services to Charleston and the surrounding areas.

The Founding Principles of CCG

  • Offer services only, no product sales — we are on your side of the table when it comes time to buy hardware and software
  • Get to know you, the customer — by knowing you better, we can respond to your particular preferences; not everyone does things the same way
  • Get to know your business — by having insight into what you do, and how you do it, we can offer better solutions that work the way you need to work
  • Actively look for ways to improve your business — where useful, we put to work for you the experience we gather from working with other, diverse, businesses
  • Acknowledge mistakes and take steps to correct them — we don't hide from mistakes, but we do learn from them
  • Esteem above all else respect, honesty, reliability, and hard work

 

Our Consultants

Darius GarsysDarius Garsys, Account Manager, Support Consultant

Darius is a voracious reader with a creative bug, a movie buff, a classic poetry buff, a board/RPG/war gamer, and a lifelong computer geek. A military veteran, Darius spent twelve years in the Navy as a nuclear mechanic. There he gained a deep appreciation for people skills, leadership, and thermodynamics. After five years on a submarine, and two tours as a shore-based instructor (which is what brought him to Charleston), he was given an Honorable Discharge from the Navy.

Darius joined CCG in 2007. Since then he has been supporting hundreds of users and dozens of clients. Some of his clients are multi-site, requiring WANs and VPNs to keep things connected — some across the country. He counts among his clients REALTORS, lawyers, medical offices, auto auctions, architects, schools, manufacturers, builders, and environmental engineers.

Over the years he has obtained certifications as MCSE, MCSA, MCP, A+, among others. He has taught A+, Microsoft Certification, Cisco certification, and introductory Basic and C programming courses. He has supported Windows NT - 8, Mac OS 7 through OS X 10.13, Windows Server NT4 through 2012, Linux in multiple flavors, and even IBM AS/400 systems and terminals. His broad experience with network support includes MS Exchange, OWA, MS SQL, Terminal Services, Citrix, WANs, LANs, Remote Access, and enterprise antivirus, among many others.

Darius lives in Mt. Pleasant with his wife and two daughters. His son graduate the University of Pennsylvania, and makes him jealous by working at Google.

Carson StewartCarson Stewart, Account Manager, Support Consultant

The newest member of the CCGNET team, Carson got his passion for all things IT at James Island Charter School, doing IT work for the campus network as part of one of his courses. He cut his teeth at CCGNET within one of our largest, and most challenging client environments, and proved himself capable of handling anything thrown at him. Carson is now building a loyal client-base.

Carson also has a passion for vocational training at the high school level. He successfully ran for the James Island Charter School Board of Directors, and became one of its youngest members, serving the 2020-2022 three-year term.
