Managed IT, cybersecurity, and cloud services for mid-market businesses
EMPIST is a 24-year-old managed services provider built around three core pillars: infrastructure management (Fortinet, Cisco, VMware, Azure), security operations (Duo, Intune, Azure AD), and cloud migration (Azure, AWS). Active adoption of SD-WAN and expanded Azure presence signals a shift toward modern network architecture; the hiring mix—split across engineering, sales, and ops with accelerating velocity—indicates scaling beyond traditional break-fix toward outcome-based services.
EMPIST delivers managed IT, cybersecurity, and cloud solutions to mid-market organizations across North America. The company operates a full-stack services model: network infrastructure and monitoring (PRTG, Nagios, Kaseya), identity and access (Azure AD, Duo Security, Intune), cloud platform management (Azure, AWS, Hyper-V), and backup/disaster recovery. Current work centers on SD-WAN deployments, Azure/Microsoft 365 migrations, and wireless infrastructure redesigns. Founded in 2000 and based in Chicago, EMPIST employs 51–200 people and maintains a consultative sales approach paired with 24/7 managed services delivery.
Core stack includes Fortinet and Cisco for networking, Azure and AWS for cloud, VMware and Hyper-V for virtualization, and Duo, Intune, Azure AD for identity/security. PRTG and Kaseya handle monitoring and remote management.
Active initiatives include SD-WAN implementations, Azure and Microsoft 365 migrations, wireless network redesigns, legacy infrastructure modernization, and network health assessments across the client base.
