XL.net

Here's something we believe deeply at XL.net:
Great IT service starts with a great team.

In managed IT, the quality of your people is the quality of your service. The engineer answering a 2 a.m. call. The technician earning a new certification on their own time. The XL Tech Officer who treats a client's business like their own.

That is why being named a 2026 Best and Brightest Company to Work For® — in both Chicago and the Nation — means so much more than a plaque on the wall.

It is recognition of the culture behind every ticket resolved, every audit completed, every client conversation.
We dug into the link between workplace culture and IT outcomes in our latest blog. If you've ever wondered why some MSPs deliver consistently better service than others, the answer often starts here.

Double honor for the XL.net team.

We've just been named a winner of the 2026 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® — recognized on both Chicago's regional list and the National list by the National Association for Business Resources.

With only one winner selected for every ten applicants, this dual recognition places XL.net among an elite group of organizations setting the standard for workplace culture, employee engagement, and people-first leadership.

But here's the part we're most proud of: the same culture that earned this recognition is the same culture that delivers:

✅ 99% first-call resolution
✅ 99.3% of calls answered live, 24/7/365
✅ 79.8% reduction in client IT issues
✅ ISO 27001 cybersecurity certification
We wrote about what this recognition means — to our team, to our clients, and to the way we approach managed IT every day.
