What Integrated Data Consulting does

Integrated Data Consulting, LLC is a privately held, founder-led boutique consultancy founded in 2001 and headquartered in Streamwood, Illinois. The firm specializes exclusively in consulting services for IBM Informix Database Servers, serving organizations that continue to operate this legacy enterprise database. Its service portfolio spans Health Checks, short- and long-term project work, backup and recovery, replication (HDR, SDS, RSS, Enterprise Replication, and Sharding), upgrades and migrations, IBM license procurement and renewal, and consulting around IBM's Informix HQ monitoring tool. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, combining on-site and remote delivery with a phone- and website-based intake model.

The company operates as an IBM Business Partner — a relationship in place since founding — which grants it the ability to resell IBM Data Management Products and access IBM training and resources. It also resells Exact Solutions' iReplay and iWatch tools and holds a partnership with Strategy 7. Technical authority is concentrated in founder Jeff Filippi, an IBM Champion who has been a featured presenter at IIUG World Conferences continuously from 2008 through 2019. The firm invests in community-led demand generation through IIUG user groups (including organizing the Chicago IIUG User Group) and an educational blog, rather than paid marketing channels.

The business model is professional services revenue plus pass-through licensing income from IBM and Exact Solutions reseller activity. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm has no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, no investors, and operates with 1–10 employees out of a single Illinois location, with no disclosed enterprise customers. Operating geographies are listed as Illinois, with the IBM partnership providing latent global reach. The website carries a 2021 copyright, indicating an active but small-scale operation.
