About Us
ExcalTech has been “Making IT Simple!“ since our foundation in 1994. As a leading provider of comprehensive managed / co-managed IT support, cybersecurity solutions, data center offerings, and cloud services, you have one partner to execute on all your technology needs.
The Best of Both Worlds
With roughly 50 full-time employees who all live and work locally, ExcalTech is large enough to support all of your business’s technology needs but small enough to give you that personal touch. Our service is top notch and white glove based. When you call us for support, you’re calling our office—not a call center. We answer the phone in approximately 15 seconds on average, and our staff know who you are.
ExcalTech History
Since its founding in 1994, ExcalTech has grown from a small PC builder in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, into a leading managed IT services provider serving clients across the Midwest and South Florida. Our journey from local IT support to a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes reflects our dedication to making IT simple, secure, and effective for every client we serve.
