Springfield, IL — March 2026
Computerease, an IT company serving businesses throughout the Springfield, Illinois region, has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, a national recognition of sustained business growth and long-term operational performance. The recognition reflects years of steady investment in people, processes, and client relationships as the company continues to support organizations across Central Illinois.
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. Founded in 1984, the company has supported small and mid-sized organizations for more than four decades, helping businesses improve operations, strengthen cybersecurity protections, and make informed technology decisions.
“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 change across the IT services industry. Consolidation and evolving service models continue to impact how businesses evaluate technology providers. For organizations in regional markets like Springfield, having a partner that provides consistency and clear guidance is increasingly important.
Across Central Illinois, many businesses operate with lean internal resources while still managing growing technology demands. Organizations in industries such as healthcare, professional services, and local manufacturing require reliable systems, strong cybersecurity protections, and practical support that aligns with their day-to-day operations. Computerease works with these businesses to provide guidance that is both strategic and easy to implement.
The company delivers managed IT services and cybersecurity solutions designed to help organizations operate securely and efficiently. Businesses evaluating an IT company in Springfield, IL often prioritize responsiveness, clarity, and a partner they can rely on over time.
For clients in Springfield and surrounding communities, the results of that approach are reflected in practical outcomes. Organizations gain confidence in their systems, reduce operational risk, and improve day-to-day efficiency. Technology becomes a stable 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 work over time. The company continues to focus on building strong relationships, improving service delivery, and supporting the evolving needs of businesses across Central Illinois.
For Computerease, the goal remains consistent: continue supporting regional businesses with reliable technology guidance, invest in its team, and help organizations navigate change with confidence.
