Please provide your feedback on how Goodfirms has contributed to increasing your visibility among potential clients.

When a company is comparing IT partners, everyone’s website says more or less the same thing, so I understand completely why a customer feels stuck. What I appreciate about Goodfirms is that it takes that judgment out of our hands and puts it in the hands of the people we’ve actually worked with. When someone reads what our clients say rather than what we say about ourselves, the conversation starts from a far more honest place. That’s been genuinely useful for us, especially with companies who are talking to several vendors at once and just want some reassurance that they’re making a sound decision.

Please introduce your company and describe your role within the organization.

Intersog is a technology company based in Chicago, and we’ve been at this for about 20 years now, since 2005. We really do three things: we help companies figure out and build their AI strategy, we build custom software, and we help teams hire the senior tech talent they can’t easily find on their own. Over the years we’ve worked with companies you’d recognize, like CDW, Bosch, and Mitsubishi Motors, alongside a lot of startups in healthcare, finance, automotive, education, and digital commerce who are earlier in their journey but no less ambitious.

The part I’m probably most proud of is how we’re set up to deliver. We have engineering teams across the US, Canada, Mexico, and Israel, which means a client can get senior, properly vetted people without the months of hiring and the overhead that usually comes with it.

My job as CEO is partly to keep us pointed in the right direction, but day-to-day what I care about most is that we’re building the right things for clients. I stay personally involved in our most important relationships, especially anything involving AI automation and implementation projects, because that’s where I think we can do the most good — and, frankly, where a client is most likely to waste a lot of money if they get poor advice.

What inspired the founding of your company, and what is the story behind its inception?

When we started Intersog in 2005, the problem we saw was pretty simple: companies in North America needed great engineers, and great engineers were hard to find, slow to hire, and expensive to keep. There was a real gap between what businesses needed and what they could realistically get.

So we began by building development teams offshore and nearshore for companies who were stuck: they couldn’t hire fast enough locally, or couldn’t justify the time and cost. From those early roots, it grew into something much bigger, but the original instinct never changed: get good people and good technology into a client’s hands faster than they could manage on their own.

As the world shifted toward AI, automation, and data, we grew with it. But I’d like to think we’ve stayed the same kind of partner the whole way through: practical, straight-talking, and far more interested in whether something actually works than in whether it sounds impressive.

What are the core values and principles that drive your company's culture, and how do you ensure alignment with these values across your team?

A few things shape how we work together at Intersog, but the biggest one is probably a shared belief that learning never really stops. Technology changes fast, and the expectations our clients have today are very different from even a few years ago. No one here, myself included, can afford to stand still. What I appreciate most is that our team genuinely enjoys growing, exploring new ideas, and challenging old assumptions. You see it everywhere, from our engineers testing new AI tools to leadership investing time into executive education and industry research simply because we want to stay thoughtful and relevant in a changing world.

Another principle that matters to us is staying grounded in reality. Before any project starts, we spend time understanding the actual business problem, the constraints around it, and what success should realistically look like. Sometimes the best solution is simpler than expected, and sometimes it means slowing down and asking better questions first. That practical mindset has helped us build long-term trust with clients over the years.

And finally, I think mutual respect is at the center of a healthy culture. That means being open with each other, listening carefully, and being willing to have difficult conversations early instead of avoiding them. It also means recognizing that good ideas can come from anywhere in the organization. To me, culture is less about company slogans and more about how people treat each other day to day, especially when things get challenging.

Can you highlight some of the key achievements or milestones your company has accomplished since its inception?

One milestone that still amazes me is how quickly the company grew in the early years. We started as a small engineering-focused business, and over time built delivery teams and operations across North America and Europe, including strong development hubs in Canada and Mexico that remain an important part of who we are today. Expanding internationally was never just about growth for us: it was about being closer to both great talent and the clients we support.

Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to work with companies like CDW, Bosch, Tesla, Mitsubishi Motors, and Northern Trust on everything from software development to AI and modernization initiatives. We’ve also been fortunate to receive industry recognition and awards, including being named among top software development and staff augmentation companies. Those moments are meaningful because they reflect the trust clients place in us and the work our teams put in every day.

At the same time, technology keeps evolving, and one thing I’m proud of is that we’ve never approached success as “we’ve figured it all out.” Whether it’s AI, cloud modernization, or changes in how companies build products and teams, we’re still learning alongside our clients. I think the best partnerships happen when both sides stay curious and adaptable.

But honestly, the milestone I value most is much simpler: the number of clients who continue working with us year after year. Some relationships have lasted over ten years. In this industry, that kind of trust means more to me than any award or headline ever could.

Could you explain your company's business model? Do you primarily operate with an in-house team or utilize third-party vendors/outsourcing?

When you work with Intersog, you’re working with our own people - our engineers, architects, and consultants. We don’t subcontract your project out to someone you’ll never meet.

We tend to engage in one of three ways. Some clients come to us first for AI strategy and consulting, where we sit down with them and work out where AI can earn its keep, and where it can’t, before anyone commits to building. Others come for custom software development, where we take something from an idea all the way to a live product. And most of our customers come for IT staff augmentation, where we place senior engineers and AI specialists right into their existing team, either for a project or for the long haul.

A lot of clients end up doing more than one of these: they start with a strategy conversation, and it grows into a build, or they borrow a couple of our engineers during a crunch. It’s easy and low-risk to work with us: clear pricing, simple to scale up when things are busy and down when they’re not. You pay for what you actually use, and you’re never locked into something that’s stopped making sense for you.

How does your company differentiate itself from competitors in the industry?

First of all, AI services aren't something we added recently. We’ve been building AI and data systems for years, and that experience shows up in the details: how we keep a model grounded in real data, how we make its answers traceable, how we take a client from ‘we’re curious about AI’ to something that’s genuinely working.

The second is the way we embed our people. Our engineers aren’t interchangeable resources you rent by the hour, and there are no overhead fees tucked away in the invoice. They become part of your team: clients often tell us it stops feeling like working with an outside vendor at all.

And the last one is simple: we’ll tell you when something is a bad idea, even when agreeing would make us more money in the short term. That’s the part I’m proudest of, and I think clients can tell.

How would you describe the dynamics within your team, and how do you foster collaboration and teamwork to achieve common goals?

Our team is spread across multiple time zones and cultures, and on paper that sounds like a headache. In practice, it’s become one of our real strengths, but only because we’ve worked hard at it. Over the years we’ve built up the habits that make distributed teams genuinely function: clear documentation, daily check-ins, and a culture where over-communicating is just the norm. Nobody on a client project is ever left wondering what’s going on.

We also hire for attitude as much as for skill. The engineers who thrive here are the curious ones: they ask questions, share what they figure out, and are comfortable saying ‘I don’t know yet, but I’ll find out.’ I try to stay close to the actual project teams rather than hovering at the executive level, and my co-founder does the same. I think that accessibility keeps everyone honest, including me.

What measures do you take to support the professional development and growth of your employees? Do you offer training programs or opportunities for skill enhancement?

We take learning seriously, as a basic requirement of doing this work well. On the leadership side, our co-founder Vadym Chernega just finished MIT’s intensive AI strategy program, because we genuinely believe that when leadership keeps learning, it sets the tone for everyone else.

For our engineers and consultants, we fund continued education - courses, certifications, learning budgets - and we run regular internal sessions where people share a new tool or a lesson from a recent project. We also deliberately move people across different industries and tech stacks so they build real range over time.

Could you share a notable success story or case study that exemplifies the impact your company has had on a client's business?

A couple of projects come to mind because they represent the kind of problems we enjoy solving.

One is Relm Insurance, where we built an AI underwriting assistant that allows underwriters to ask complex questions in plain language and receive accurate, traceable answers in seconds. The technology itself is interesting, but the real value is that it helps the team spend less time searching for information and more time making informed decisions.

Another is Pyxos, an AI-powered compliance co-pilot designed to help organizations navigate complex privacy and regulatory requirements. Compliance is often slow, manual, and expensive. By combining multiple AI agents into a single experience, we helped users analyze requirements faster and with greater confidence. What made this project particularly rewarding was seeing adoption grow as we continued refining the platform based on real user feedback.

While the industries were different, both projects reflect the same goal: using AI to solve practical business problems, reduce complexity, and help people work more effectively.

What industries do you primarily cater to, and do you have a significant percentage of repeat clients? If so, what is the ratio of repeat clients?

Our deepest experience is in healthcare, financial services and insurance, automotive, education, digital commerce, and technology. Those are areas where the data is messy, the rules are strict, and the pressure to keep up is intense, which is exactly the kind of problem we enjoy solving.

As for repeat clients, this is the number I’m quietly proudest of. A meaningful share of our work each year comes from people who’ve returned for more, or expanded what we’re doing together. We’ve had clients stay with us for more than five years and trust us with one initiative after another. I never take that for granted; in this business, people stay because you’ve earned it, not because they’re locked in.

What initiatives does your company undertake to foster innovation and stay at the forefront of industry trends? Do you invest in research and development projects?

Staying current is part of the job; it’s even in our slogan, ‘Riding technology’s wave.’ In practice, that means our teams are constantly trying out new tools and approaches, but always against real client problems rather than in a lab for its own sake. We’ve built up our own internal accelerators and reference designs for the AI patterns we see most often, like retrieval-augmented systems, compliance automation, and predictive analytics, so when a new client turns up with a familiar challenge, we’re not starting from zero.

We also stay close to the research world. Vadym’s time at MIT brought back frameworks we’re already using, especially around when a business is actually ready to adopt AI, how to govern it responsibly, and how to measure whether it’s truly paying off.

And we try to share what we learn rather than hoard it, through our blog, whitepapers, and webinars. We recently ran one on using AI to strengthen a company’s valuation, and the room was full of executives wrestling with exactly the questions we hear every week. Staying in those conversations is honestly how we keep ourselves sharp.

Please share some of the most sought-after services that clients approach your company for.

The first is AI strategy and discovery. Clients often come to us knowing AI matters but unsure where to begin, or carrying the scars of an earlier experiment that didn’t pan out. We help them find the right starting point, build the business case, and lay out a realistic roadmap with clear milestones.

Once that’s clear, the next request is usually to actually build: AI-powered platforms, workflow automation, data pipelines, and connecting all of it to the systems they already run.

We also see strong demand for IT staff augmentation, especially for AI and data roles that are painfully hard to hire for right now. And finally, a fair bit of straightforward technology consulting: helping companies make sound calls on architecture, cloud strategy, and which vendors to trust.

How do you build and maintain strong relationships with your clients, and what mechanisms do you have in place for gathering and acting upon client feedback?

Good relationships are usually based on two things: delivering what you said you would, and being honest when something’s off. We put real effort into understanding a client’s business, not just their technical spec.

We keep communication regular but not bureaucratic. Clients can reach their project leads directly, and we check in at both the working level and the strategic level. If something isn’t going well, I want to hear about it early, not at some post-mortem when it’s too late to fix.

We gather feedback formally at milestones and informally all the time, and yes, we do ask clients for Goodfirms reviews. That serves two purposes: it gives us honest outside feedback, and it helps the next prospective client make a good decision. When someone tells us something we could do better, we take it to heart, both for that client and for how we run the company going forward.

How has your company adapted to changes and challenges in the business landscape, and what strategies have you employed to ensure resilience and sustainability?

The biggest change we’ve lived through recently is our own - moving from being mainly a development and staffing partner to being a true AI strategy and implementation partner. That didn't happen overnight: it meant investing in new skills, new people, and frankly a new way of talking to clients about value.

Customers have changed too, in a good way. They ask the better question: what will this technology or process actually do for my business, and how will we know? I much prefer that conversation.

On the team side, having people across North America, Mexico, and Europe gives us a lot of steadiness and a much wider pool of talent to draw on when a client needs something specific. Mostly, though, we stay resilient by staying close to what our clients actually need and by being willing to evolve what we offer without losing sight of the things we’re genuinely good at.

What payment structure do you typically follow when billing clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, or Pay per Milestone (phases, months, versions, etc.)?

Our billing structure depends on the work, and we try to match the model to whatever feels fairest and clearest for the client.

For AI strategy and consulting, including our Discovery Workshops, we usually work fixed-scope, fixed-price. The work is well-defined, so clients get the predictability they want.

For custom development and ongoing engineering, we typically work time-and-materials with transparent monthly billing. Clients can see exactly where the hours are going and can re-prioritize as the project evolves.

For staff augmentation and dedicated teams, clients simply pay the agreed rate for the people they’re using. It’s easy to scale up and scale down. The common thread is that you pay for what you actually use, and I’d much rather over-explain a bill than surprise anyone with one. Every engagement starts with a clear scope and a clear definition of success, so there’s nothing buried in the fine print.

Do you accept projects that meet your basic budget requirements? If yes, what is the minimum budget requirement? If no, what is the minimum budget you have worked with in the past?

Our typical engagements start at around $50,000, though many of our long-term client relationships grow well beyond that over time.

For companies that are earlier in their journey, we also offer smaller, structured engagements such as AI Discovery Workshops, which provide a practical way to explore opportunities and define a roadmap before committing to a larger initiative.

Most importantly, we believe in being transparent about fit. If we don't think we're the right partner for a project, we'll say so and, whenever possible, help point the client in the right direction.

Can you provide an overview of the price range (minimum and maximum) of the projects your company worked on in 2025?

In 2025, our work ranged from bounded consulting and strategy workshops in the $50,000–$60,000 range, up to multi-phase AI and platform builds north of $500,000. Most of our project work landed somewhere between $75,000 and $300,000, while our talent engagements run as ongoing monthly relationships that often continue for years.

What technological capabilities does your company possess, and are there any ongoing or planned investments in technology infrastructure or tools to enhance your services?

Our core strengths run across AI and machine learning, including LLM integration, retrieval-augmented architectures, and ML ops, alongside custom web and mobile development, big data and analytics, IoT, cloud, and quality assurance.

Where I think we’ve built real depth is in making AI you can actually trust inside a business: systems that are grounded in real data, that can explain themselves, and that keep a human in the loop where it matters. We lean heavily on techniques like retrieval-augmented generation to stop models from making things up, and we build in oversight and responsible-AI practices that line up with where the regulations are heading.

We’re always investing in our own toolkit: the accelerators and reusable pieces that let us deliver faster and more reliably. We make a point of staying current with the fast-moving world of AI platforms and cloud tools, so the advice we give a client is genuinely up to date rather than last year’s thinking.

Where do you envision your company in the next 10 years? What are your long-term goals and aspirations for growth and development?

Ten years out, I’d like Intersog to be known as one of the firms you call when you have a hard, important AI decision to make, because we have a long track record of getting it right for real businesses.

We’re deliberately deepening our expertise in a few areas - healthcare, financial services, and supply chain - where the problems are genuinely difficult and getting AI right really matters. I want us to be the people clients in those fields think of first for their most important technology calls.

We’ll keep growing our delivery teams across North America and beyond, with a focus on senior people who can talk business as comfortably as they write code.

But honestly, the thing I think about most is how to grow without losing what makes us good: the quality of our people, the closeness of our client relationships, and the honesty of our advice. That’s much harder to scale than headcount, and it’s the part I most want to get right.
