      Software Development Review from Dan Adika

      Infograins has helped us develop our custom software system. Before we signed the contract, we had initial pre-sales meetings, during which I provided them with documentation. We also signed an NDA so that they could look at everything I provided. Then, Infograins came back with an in-depth project proposal of about 50 pages and we signed the contract. As for the technology stack, we're using React.js, Python, and Django to create this software piece. Moreover, our whole backend is hosted in AWS. We're very happy and satisfied with how everything has turned out and with the whole Infograins team. Their willingness to discuss issues, fix problems, and help us with anything we need is great, so I wouldn't want to have developed this product, especially the MVP with anyone else. I can't think of anything Infograins could change. Going forward with other projects, we might find some improvements. Thus far, we're very happy with them

They take on tasks with a sense of responsibility, work hard, and meet deadlines. During the consultation, there was a constructive discussion.

      We have been working with ProdigyTeks for years now. When we first started with them we had them upgrade all of our computers, servers, email and online accounts. They have helped us expand and move forward with our equipment and technology. All of the work that has been done to date has always been done in a very timely and professional manner. We are most impressed with the quick response to any of our trouble calls or questions regarding anything at all. Our company is very happy that we found ProdigyTeks. Paco and his team are wonderful. We highly recommend ProdigyTeks!!

      Zadro Web was incredibly helpful in assisting us with a massive project migrating our ecommerce store to a new website. Their hands on team performed a high level audit in a timely fashion (both pre and post launch), and recommended several SEO migration best-practices that were crucial in helping us avoid some pitfalls. Our transition to a new site would not have been nearly as smooth had it not been for their expertise. I highly recommend their services!

      We had this cool idea to create adaptive learning paths for our students based on their quiz performance and interaction patterns. But building the logic was beyond our team’s expertise. CodingCops helped us hire AI developers who designed a lightweight recommendation model that personalized learning modules dynamically. It made our platform way more engaging for students.

      CodingCops has some of the best engineers out there. We brought on a QA Automation Engineer through them, and he turned out to be the best we’ve worked with after trying several contractors before. Super skilled, technically sharp, and he really took ownership of QA. He felt like part of our team from day one, not an outsider. We’ll definitely be going back to CodingCops again, not just for this role but for others too.

Frequently Asked Questions About Top IT Services in Chicago

What services does an IT company in Chicago typically provide?

IT companies in Chicago typically provide a suite of managed IT services that serve as an external tech department for businesses. 

Common service offerings include: 

1. Managed support and infrastructure 

  • 24/7 help desk: Remote and on-site technical support for hardware and software issues. 
  • Network management: Setup and maintenance of LAN/WAN, Wi-Fi, and server infrastructure. 
  • IT asset management: Tracking and updating devices (PCs, servers, and mobile devices). 

2. Cybersecurity and compliance 

  • Threat protection: Implementation of firewalls, endpoint protection, and antivirus software. 
  • Security training: Employee awareness programs to prevent phishing and social engineering. 
  • Regulatory compliance: Ensuring systems meet industry-specific standards like HIPAA (Healthcare), FINRA (Finance), or CMMC (Defense). 

3. Cloud and communication 

  • Cloud services: Migration and management for platforms like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and AWS/Azure. 
  • VoIP solutions: Modern internet-based phone systems and unified communication tools (Teams, Zoom). 

4. Strategy and continuity 

  • Business continuity: Data backup and disaster recovery planning to minimize downtime. 
  • Virtual CIO (vCIO): Strategic consulting to align technology investments with long-term business goals. 

How do these services reduce business downtime?

IT services in Chicago reduce downtime primarily by shifting from a reactive (fix it when it breaks) to a proactive (prevent it before it breaks) model.  

Managed service providers (MSPs) use 24/7 monitoring tools to identify early warning signs, such as a failing hard drive or unusual network spikes, which allows them to resolve issues before they escalate into full-scale outages. Maintenance often happens after hours, ensuring your team stays productive without technical interruptions. 

Beyond daily prevention, these services minimize downtime through robust disaster recovery (DR) and automation. The IT company in Chicago automatically backs up your data and maintains a ready-to-use backup system. If there is a cyberattack or hardware failure, they can restore your systems within minutes instead of days. 

Additionally, automated security patching and standardized system configurations eliminate human errors and compatibility quirks that frequently cause unplanned crashes.

What is the difference between managed IT and co-managed IT?

Feature Managed IT Co-managed IT
Primary goal Outsource the entire IT function Augment and support an existing team
Internal staff Not required (or zero) Required (at least one IT lead)
Control The provider makes most daily decisions Shared; internal team retains oversight
Accountability MSP is solely responsible for uptime Shared responsibility between both teams
Cost structure Predictable, all-inclusive monthly fee Variable fee + internal salaries/benefits
Best for Small to mid-sized firms without IT Mid-sized to large firms with overstretched IT
Tools/licenses Provided and managed by MSP Shared access to MSP's enterprise tools

In a managed model, the external provider – IT firm Chicago - is your IT department. In a co-managed model, the external provider is an extension of your existing in-house team. 

Managed IT (Fully managed) 

The Managed Service Provider (MSP) assumes 100% responsibility for your technology. They handle all, from the help desk and hardware to high-level cybersecurity and long-term strategic road mapping. This model is suitable for organizations without internal IT staff that want a turnkey solution with a predictable monthly cost. 

Co-managed IT 

This is a partnership in which responsibilities are split between your in-house IT staff and the MSP. Your internal team typically handles daily user requests, while the MSP provides specialized tools, 24/7 monitoring, or heavy-duty engineering that a small internal team lacks. It prevents burnout and fills skill gaps without replacing existing employees.

How does the Chicago Cloud Tax affect IT costs in 2026?

In 2026, the Chicago Cloud Tax, or the Personal Property Lease Transaction Tax (PPLTT), increased from 11% to 15% on January 1st. This tax specifically targets nonpossessory computer leases, which include almost all cloud-based software (SaaS), infrastructure (IaaS), and platform services (PaaS) used within city limits.  

For local businesses, this means any subscription to tools like Microsoft 365, AWS, Zoom, or Salesforce now carries a 15% surcharge, often passed directly from the provider to the customer's invoice. 

This rate hike makes Chicago's technology costs among the highest in the country, as most other jurisdictions do not impose such a steep local tax on digital services. While there is an exemption for startups under 5 years old with less than $25 million in revenue, established mid-sized companies must factor in the 15% overhead in their IT budgets.  

To manage these costs, many Chicago IT firms are increasingly using apportionment affidavits, which allow them to pay tax only on the percentage of employees working in the city rather than on their entire global workforce.
