Straightforward managed IT for small businesses across Chicagoland's northern suburbs and southern Wisconsin. No resellers, no lock-in contracts. Just a senior engineer who actually gets back to you.
A lot of IT providers make money by reselling licenses and locking your systems behind their credentials, so leaving them means rebuilding from scratch. That's not how this works.
Licenses, admin accounts, encryption keys, and directory are provisioned under your business, not ours. If you ever leave, you walk away with everything intact and working.
No bundled contracts designed to be hard to exit. You see what you're paying for and why, with no hidden margin buried in a "managed" line item.
You talk to the person doing the work. No tiered support desk, no "let me escalate that." Just a senior engineer who already knows your environment.
Every environment is different. This is the range of what's covered. Tell us what's actually going on and we'll scope it from there.
Device security, patching, and monitoring so laptops and desktops stay current and protected without you thinking about it.
Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Intune: email, identity, MFA, and device policy configured and kept sane.
Switches, firewalls, routers, and access points: designed, deployed, and kept running reliably.
Data protection that's actually tested, so "we had a backup" doesn't turn into a bad surprise.
Day-to-day help desk support remotely, with on-site visits when a problem actually calls for hands on hardware.
VMware and Hyper-V environments: built, migrated, and maintained without the guesswork.
Ten years in IT, working up from network engineer to senior systems engineer, in-house and inside real businesses, not from a call center script.
That's meant supporting law firms, manufacturing floors, warehouses, medical device makers, creative studios doing photo and video and 3D design, health and beauty brands, logistics and trucking operations, and collision repair shops. Different industries, same job: keep the systems running and make the technology boring in the best way.
Maverick IT Solutions exists because too many small businesses get treated like an afterthought by MSPs built for 500-seat clients. This is built for the business with 5 to 50 people that just wants IT to be handled honestly, by someone who's actually reachable.
A walkthrough of your current setup: network, devices, backups, identity. No obligation, no sales pitch, just an honest read on where things stand.
A straight-talk breakdown of what actually needs attention, what it costs, and what can wait. You decide what to move forward on.
Ongoing management with a direct line to the person doing the work, remote first, on-site when a problem calls for it.
Based in northern Illinois. Remote support reaches anywhere, on-site visits scheduled based on location.
No pressure, no obligation. Just a conversation about what's working, what isn't, and whether Maverick's a fit.
