What Capital Data does

Capital Data, Inc. is a privately held IT solutions provider founded in 1993 and headquartered in Brookfield, Wisconsin, with additional sales and engineering offices in Madison and Appleton (Wisconsin), Des Moines (Iowa), and Chicago (Illinois). The company delivers professional services, managed services, and dedicated M&A IT integration services to mid-market and enterprise clients across eight verticals: banking and financial services, manufacturing, education, government, retail, entertainment, healthcare, and insurance. Its core methodology, Data Driven Architecture™, combines a proprietary data intelligence tool called CDInsights™ with certified engineering expertise to plan, implement, and manage cloud, infrastructure, security, and digital transformation engagements.

Capital Data monetizes through project-based professional services (cloud architecture, virtualization, storage, data protection, network and security, data center/co-location) and recurring managed services contracts that auto-renew with renewal-price caps tied to the greater of 5% or CPI-U. A differentiated M&A IT Integration practice provides IT due diligence, Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant migrations, Active Directory domain migrations, and post-merger consolidation, supported by a dedicated partnership with AvePoint. Distribution is direct enterprise sales through a named team of approximately eight sales representatives, supplemented by vendor partner referrals and a self-service Customer Hub portal for cloud subscriptions and support ticketing.

Capital Data operates as a multi-vendor systems integrator anchored by high-tier vendor designations — Dell Technologies Titanium Partner, Microsoft Certified Solutions Partner for Modern Work, and partnerships with VMware, Arctic Wolf, Fortinet, Veeam, Cisco, Extreme Networks, CATO Networks, Data Holdings, AvePoint, and Qlik. The company launched Capital Data Analytics, Inc. in 2024 as a separate sub-brand focused on data analytics and visualization, and maintains an Innovation Center for technology demonstrations. Senior leadership is tenured — CEO Tim LaMalfa and CSO Matt Cefalu each have 25 years at the company, CFO Don Rogers has 30+ years in CFO roles — and ownership is concentrated with the LaMalfa family. Revenue and headcount are not publicly disclosed.
