      Software Development Review from John Armstrong

      ELEKS was able to take our vision and help us deliver an app that empowers retail shareholders to make their voices heard. They’ve brought a depth and breadth of technical expertise and user experience design to challenge us on our assumptions on how people would want to interact with the app. From a mobile development perspective, we wanted to go to market with both an Android and an iPhone simultaneously.

      What impressed me about ELEKS is the culture. There is a very strong culture of discipline and performance, and software is a profession where discipline is very important. Good software development can only happen with a strong work ethic, and I think the ELEKS team really understands that.

      We had created a conceptual framework to authenticate and verify the provenance, transaction history, and authorship of blockchain-based NFTs. Talentica was brought on board to test and refine the concept from both functional and engineering perspectives, and later to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) aligned with the agreed specifications and constraints.

      For several years, the team was composed entirely of Talentica contractors. Since January 2022, I have been directly managing them. The Talentica team handled the admin tooling backend, which included multiple Python Flask services with Postgres and Elasticsearch. These services operated in a service-oriented architecture deployed on Kubernetes, using Istio for service mesh and Spinnaker for deployments.

      We have been working with Unico for over 5 years now. Very happy with their services and responsiveness. They are very customer-centric in their approach. We moved away from a larger firm to Unico, since this mid-size has a very cooperative engagement which worked well for us. Recommend them to anyone in Seed to Series B stage.

He was very nice, easy to speak to and even though his field is a bit out of my knowledge base, he was able to explain things in a way that made perfect sense.

      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

      I've been working with Simform for over six months now. The engagement began with bringing our subscription management platform in-house, and we've since expanded the partnership to other projects due to their broad skill set and consistent reliability. They've gone the extra mileeven over weekends and public holidaysto help us move faster when needed. Communication and project management have been excellent, with any issues swiftly addressed. It genuinely felt like Simform was invested in our success. Having worked with similar firms throughout my career, I can confidently say Simform stands out and comes highly recommended.

      Software Development Review from Russ Makhauri

      We worked with Simform to hire a front-end engineer for our SaaS platform. The process was well-organized, and their team was professional, responsive, and efficient. They quickly identified a candidate who met our technical requirements and ensured a smooth onboarding process. Simforms communication and project management were strong throughout the engagement. They were proactive in addressing feedback and remained flexible in adapting to our needs. While there is some room for improvement in developer vetting and quality assurance, their overall service was excellent. For companies looking to scale their development teams efficiently, Simform is a reliable partner. Their structured approach, responsiveness, and commitment to client satisfaction make them a great choice. We would recommend them without hesitation.

From the early planning stages through test execution and continuous improvements, the team has shown strong expertise and maintained clear, reliable communication. Their dedicated focus on QA has given us an experienced group that manages the entire process with little need for oversight on our side. They are true experts in their field.

      We’ve worked with Saad and his team for close to a year now. They’ve been diligent throughout the process, responsive and communicative. They came in mid-stream to save the project from another development team that didn’t live up to their commitments. I would highly recommend Plego to any company looking to see things move forward on a stalled project or looking for a team that will jump in and start to get things done.

They provided invaluable support with our marketing, website, and product UI/UX, which has resulted in significant traction with both customers and investors.

      UI/UX Design Review from Ele Munjeli

      My experience with Hypersense came through their Techboost program for startups. I needed help to design a very complex UI/UX for a website dedicated to planning farm operations with agricultural robotics and other advanced networked devices. While I spent a considerable amount of time in the field gathering requirements, I felt overwhelmed by the implications of designing for such a complicated scenario. Hypersense came to the rescue and delivered a beautiful UI with a clear path for the users (farmers) to explore and develop advanced automation across crops and seasons. It took a lot less time than I expected; the team was engaged and asked all the right questions from the get go. That made it easy to let go and trust the pros at the agency with design decisions. As an engineer, I am one to have my hands on every part of my work, but in this case, I found, to my relief, I could just say: do what you think is best. As a result I learned a lot about my own application. The team did not just design wireframes - they designed elegant interactions and workflows that made sense. The UI prototype was styled as well, and the team provided terrific advice on how to upgrade the existing styles for my applications to give them better web appeal and usability. The resulting design is expressive, engaging and inspired. Hypersense provides service that was more than professional - it was personal. I came away from the work with a better sense of what I am building, how to build it, and how the application will be used. I highly recommend Hypersense and will work with them again whenever I have the opportunity.

The figma demo they created exceeded our expectations and we have had significant increase in product interest after using their demo with our customers. Omedus would absolutely recommend them for other companies and we plan to continue to engage their services for our own.

      We originally designed something simple to test a market that quickly blossomed. We were at a crossroads of failing due to demand and not being able to supply or technically move forward. We partnered with Codiant to help write our next chapter. We began the journey by looking for a good code shop that we could work and communicate with. What we found instead was a partner in all facets. Codiant’s team share in our vision and mission. We’ve developed our App, website, and marketing through the firm and have been able to increase our footprint. I highly recommend Codiant for your next project if you are looking for a great partnership and growth.

      Software Development Review from Matthew Jacobson

      Our organization's work has evolved quickly from scheduling in-person classroom presentations by hand to offering globally-focused digital video content. We needed to pivot from a complicated booking system to an easy-to-navigate, sortable, accessible, on-demand resource library that would suit the needs of both our long-term users and new visitors. As a global operation, we also needed the library to offer several language options. Our work is continuous and frequently updated, so we need a partner who can flex with us as we regularly reassess our project's scope. We asked Bitstudio to design and implement our new on-demand library, one that could accommodate the frequent additions of new content and languages, and they have delivered beautifully on our request. We officially launched the library this week, right on time.

      Tim Sanvido's Review Sourced from Google

      Okay, I don’t know why the autism speaks rules or techniques are so absurdly misunderstood. If you speak as I do there’s literally no reason a person with long time Asperger’s syndrome symptoms get treated with chaos, like if I have Asperger’s or autism, I’d be considered disabled. The autism speaks rules basically state the autistic person needs explicit rules explained without being given surprises or kind of “casual abuse”. No, this happened to me on various teams. Why? Or who is telling these rules as if that’s correct at all? I’d like to know. For years, I’m gonna I’m lucky and I hold zero animosity towards anyone. The autistic person or community might have HPA axis stress dysregulation as a feature of the condition. I can’t speak for anyone else, I’m pretty sure a stress dysregulated person needs less stress or surprises especially when it comes work. Just tell me to work one something. I was already autistic burnout when I worked here. Not trivial. I’m now realizing I can work on it. At the time I couldn’t even understand what I was doing exactly. It doesn’t spontaneously occur. Anyone that uses or loses functioning especially with facial expressions like me. It takes real work, gradual change not 100% perfect spontaneously. I get why people say it’s not real, I just need better health. I think that’s my downfall. I studied and worked on my knowledge but never my physical ability or health. I learned, thankfully. Some live and die, never knowing what happened. I’m thank I’m not, my brother was. It’s okay. It’s not for anyone to feel sorry about or tell me they sympathize or empathize. It is true though. So, before people use the crazy rules, just living and dying never knowing what caused so much damage to your life. That sucks.

      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.

      I’ve worked with ISimplifyMe on a number of different projects over the years, and I think they are second to none. I am very particular about whom I choose to work with, and had interviewed a lot of companies before deciding to go with ISimplifyMe. I had contemplated going with a local company (Los Angeles), thinking it may be easier to communicate, but with ISimplifyMe the time difference was a nonissue. They replied faster and more thoroughly than local companies, and have been able to deliver time and time again. They have consistently produced high quality work, while being honest, reliable, and trustworthy.

Everything You Need To Know Before Hiring the Best IT Company in Chicago

What are the primary tech threats for Chicago businesses in 2026?

The primary threats currently impacting the Chicago business hub include:

1. AI-powered social engineering and phishing

Phishing emails are harder to spot in 2026. They no longer look fake.

Hackers use AI to collect information from LinkedIn and other public profiles. They write emails that sound exactly like a real executive or trusted vendor.

They also use deep-fake technology to copy a person’s voice or video. This lets them pretend to be a CEO on a call and trick employees into sending money.

2. Sophisticated ransomware and double extortion

Ransomware is more advanced now. Hackers first steal your sensitive data. Then, they lock your systems.

Even if you restore your systems from backups, they still have your data. They threaten to publish it unless you pay.

This can expose client files, legal documents, or patient records. For professional IT firms in Chicago, this damages trust and reputation.

3. Supply chain and vendor vulnerabilities

Chicago businesses rely on many outside vendors, such as accountants, law firms, and logistics companies. Hackers target these smaller partners because they usually have weaker security.

Once hackers break into the vendor, they use that trusted connection to access the larger company’s systems. Your security depends on how secure your vendors are.

4. Shadow AI and data leakage

Employees are using AI tools to work faster. Some of them copy and paste company data into public AI systems. This can expose confidential business information, customer data, and internal documents

This risk is called shadow AI. It happens without company control.

Regular security tools often do not detect it because the employee is sending the data via standard internet access.

5. The cost of non-compliance

Data breaches are now extremely expensive in the U.S., averaging over $10 million per incident in 2026. The damage comes from two places:

  • The direct cost to fix the systems
  • Government fines for weak security

Businesses must follow strict security laws. If they cannot prove they had proper protection, they can face large fines. These fines are often higher than the cost of fixing the technical problem itself.

What benefits can IT companies in Chicago provide for your business?

In 2026, businesses based in Chicago are moving away from break-fix IT, where you only call for help after something breaks. They are switching to Managed IT because the risks are much higher now.

Higher costs, like the Chicago Cloud Tax increase, and new threats, like AI-driven cybercrime, require constant monitoring and protection, not just occasional repairs.

The top five key benefits IT companies in Chicago provide include:

1. Cost reduction and predictable pricing

Outsourcing IT turns unpredictable capital expenses into stable monthly operating costs. In 2026, managed IT services reduce total IT operating costs by 25% to 45% compared to ad-hoc spending. For Chicago mid-sized businesses, this usually means a fixed cost of $100 to $200 per user per month, avoiding expensive surprise repair bills.

2. Lower downtime costs

For small and mid-sized businesses, just one hour of downtime in 2026 can cost mid-sized businesses up to $300,000 in lost revenue and payroll. Managed IT providers in Chicago use proactive monitoring and automatic updates that reduce downtime by up to 80% within the first six months.

3. Stronger cybersecurity against AI threats

Cybercrime is expected to cost over $20 trillion globally in 2026, and the average data breach costs $4.88 million.

Managed IT providers deliver enterprise-level security, including AI-based threat detection and Zero Trust protection, which would be too expensive for most local businesses to build themselves. This greatly reduces the risk of a costly breach.

4. Lower cloud costs and better tax control

Chicago’s Cloud Tax is 15% in 2026, so unused cloud services waste even more money. Managed providers use FinOps methods to monitor and optimize cloud usage.

Proper system sizing and modern cloud setups improve price-performance by 20% to 40%, so businesses pay only for what they need.

5. Higher employee productivity

When managed IT providers handle maintenance and Shadow AI risks, internal teams can focus on important work. In 2026, companies with reliable IT systems see an average 15% increase in staff and developer productivity, thanks to faster problem resolution and fewer repetitive manual tasks.

How to choose the best IT company in Chicago?

Choosing the best IT firm in Chicago requires more than general technical skills. You need a provider that understands local operations and Chicago-specific regulations.

Here is a step-by-step guide:

  • Prioritize physical proximity for emergency support
    Make sure the provider has a main office and dedicated technicians in the Chicago metro area, ideally within 30 to 45 minutes of your business. This ensures fast on-site help when hardware fails or the network goes down, and remote support is not enough.
  • Verify expertise in Chicago-specific tax and compliance
    Confirm the provider knows how to manage the 15% Chicago Cloud Tax (PPLTT). They should also have experience helping businesses comply with the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) if you use fingerprint or facial recognition systems.
  • Evaluate experience in Chicago’s key industries
    Choose a firm that works in your industry, such as FinTech in the Loop, legal services, or manufacturing. They will already know the common software, like Clio, Bloomberg, or Epic, and understand required security standards like SOC 2 or HIPAA.
  • Audit their 2026 AI and security systems
    Ask how their Security Operations Center (SOC) works and how they use AI-based tools to protect against deepfakes and AI phishing. Make sure they are not relying only on outdated antivirus tools that are no longer sufficient in 2026.
  • Review local case studies with real numbers
    Ask for at least three Chicago client case studies with clear results, such as “reduced downtime by 40%” or “saved $5,000 per month on cloud tax.” Ask to speak directly with those clients to verify the results.
  • Confirm transparent, custom Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
    Choose a provider that offers custom SLAs based on your business hours and critical systems, not a generic national template. The agreement should include clear financial penalties if they fail to meet response time or uptime guarantees.

What is the difference between managed IT and IT consulting?

The difference is based on purpose and duration. Managed IT runs your technology every day. IT consulting helps change or improve a specific aspect.

Feature Managed IT IT Consulting
Primary goal Stability and maintenance Change and improvement
Timeframe Ongoing, long-term Short-term, project-based
Pricing Monthly subscription Fixed project fee or hourly rate
Approach Prevent problems daily Solve a specific problem
Scope Entire IT environment One system or project
Role Your ongoing IT team External advisor
Example Managing help desk and security monitoring Auditing systems for BIPA compliance

Managed IT (Operations)

Managed IT is an ongoing monthly service. The provider takes full responsibility for your daily technology. Their goal is stability and prevention.

They handle:

  • Help desk support
  • Security updates and patching
  • Server and network monitoring
  • Cloud tax compliance management
  • AI-driven threat monitoring

In Chicago in 2026, they act like your permanent IT department.

IT consulting (Strategy and projects)

IT consulting is temporary and project-based. You hire a consultant to solve a specific problem or plan a major change.

They analyze the situation, design a solution or strategy, complete the project, and leave when finished.

Common Chicago 2026 examples include:

  • Moving systems to the cloud to optimize the 15% PPLTT cloud tax
  • Running security audits
  • Planning AI implementation.

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

  • 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.
