Founded 2001 · Chicago, IL

We help
businesses succeed.

At inc-sys, we think of ourselves first and foremost as a customer service company — one that happens to provide IT assistance. That distinction shapes everything about how we work, who we hire, and how we treat the people on the other end of every support call.

THE FOUNDING STORY

Enterprise IT, without the enterprise politics

Before founding inc-sys in 2001, Don OBrill spent years working in IT at large and mid-sized corporations. He was good at the work — but he kept running into the same obstacle: company politics slowing down the decisions that actually helped people.

The answer was to step outside the org chart entirely. As an independent partner, inc-sys could focus entirely on what the business actually needed — without internal friction, turf battles, or bureaucracy.

There was also a larger opportunity Don saw clearly: small and mid-sized businesses had the same technology needs as enterprises but none of the resources. Cloud computing didn’t exist yet. SMB-grade solutions were limited. Don built inc-sys to bridge that gap — bringing enterprise-grade IT thinking to businesses that had never had access to it before.

"The best way to positively impact a business's IT needs was to not be part of the company politics."

OUR HISTORY

25 years of getting it right

HOW WE WORK

Not too big. Not too small. Just right.

A team of less than 12 US-based technicians means every client gets real attention — and every technician knows your business, not just your ticket number.

We get to know your people
Even working mostly remotely, our technicians build real relationships with the employees they support. It's not unusual for a client's team members to ask for a specific technician by name when opening a ticket.
We want to learn your industry
We don't just tolerate industry-specific requirements — we actively want to understand them. Whether it's attorney-client privilege, HIPAA, or the specific software your team depends on, we learn what matters in your world.
Customer service is the job
We hire for customer service first. Technical skills can be developed — the instinct to treat people well, communicate clearly, and follow through on every commitment is what we look for.
No politics. Just results.
As your external IT partner, we have no internal agenda, no vendor quotas to hit, and no interdepartmental friction slowing us down. Our only measure of success is whether your business is running better.

OUR MISSION

We are a customer service company.
We help businesses succeed.

That's not a tagline — it's the lens through which every hire, every support call, every project, and every client relationship at inc-sys is evaluated. Technology is the tool. Your success is the goal.
