Chicago IT Company Computerease Named to the Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

The Inc. 5000 list highlights privately held companies across the United States that demonstrate exceptional growth over a multi-year period. The annual ranking has become one of the most recognized benchmarks of entrepreneurial success and business expansion. Many well-known companies appeared on the list during their growth years, including organizations such as GoPro, Chobani, and Intuit. Inclusion on the list reflects not only growth, but the ability to sustain that growth through strong leadership and operational discipline.

For Computerease, the recognition reflects a long-term approach to building a business rather than focusing on short-term momentum. Since 1984, the company has helped small and mid-sized organizations improve operations, strengthen cybersecurity protections, and make informed technology decisions. As the company has expanded into the Chicago market, that same approach has remained consistent.

“Growth in business rarely comes from a single moment. It comes from consistent decisions, strong teams, and a commitment to serving clients well over time. Being recognized on the Inc. 5000 is meaningful because it reflects the steady work our team has done for many years to support the businesses that rely on us,” said Ryan Haislar, CISSP, President of Computerease.

The recognition comes during a period of ongoing change across the IT services industry. Consolidation, acquisitions, and evolving service models have become more common, particularly in larger metropolitan markets like Chicago. Many organizations are evaluating their technology partners more carefully as they look for providers that can support both immediate needs and long-term growth.

In the Chicago market, businesses often operate across multiple locations, manage more complex IT environments, and rely on internal teams that require additional support. Computerease works alongside these organizations to provide both fully managed and co-managed IT support, helping internal teams extend their capabilities while maintaining control over their environments.

The company provides managed IT services and cybersecurity services designed to support organizations as they scale. For companies evaluating an IT company in Chicago, reliability, responsiveness, and long-term partnership have become increasingly important factors in the decision-making process.

For clients in Chicago, the results of that approach are reflected in practical outcomes. Organizations gain confidence in their systems and security posture, internal teams receive support when needed, and technology becomes a reliable foundation for growth rather than a source of disruption.

While recognition such as the Inc. 5000 highlights measurable growth, Computerease views it as a reflection of consistent execution over time. The company continues to focus on building strong relationships, improving service delivery, and supporting the evolving needs of businesses in the Chicago market.

For Computerease, the objective remains steady: provide reliable technology guidance, support business growth, and help organizations navigate change with confidence.
