IT Companies Network

What IT Companies Network does

IT Companies Network operates a two-sided B2B marketplace and global directory that connects IT service providers with businesses seeking IT services. The platform lists 3,508+ IT companies across 84 countries and 1,425+ cities, organized across 45+ service categories (cloud, cybersecurity, IT consulting, managed services, software development, staffing) and 200+ technologies and 20+ industry verticals. Core products include a searchable IT Services Directory, a project Marketplace where businesses post requests and receive quotes, a Company Dashboard for listed providers to manage profiles and analytics, an IT Events section, and a content blog authored primarily by founder Joseph Harisson.

The underlying platform architecture is a web-based directory and marketplace with self-serve provider onboarding. The company acquired Layer7 Tech in November 2022 to add blockchain-based data verification of listed providers and market intelligence capabilities around API and SOA resources. No public API, mobile app, or AI-native features are disclosed.

The business model is freemium at the listing level — IT companies add profiles and services for free, and businesses browse and request quotes at no cost. Monetization is described as premium placements and marketplace transactions, though no pricing for paid tiers or disclosed transaction commissions is published. The company is privately held and founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional funding, no disclosed revenue, and a team of 11-50 employees based in Dallas, Texas (contact address in Plano).
