CPT Network Solutions lands spot on elite Inc. 5000 list Technical project management firm reports 91 percent growth
Cronin proposes 8th budget with no property tax increase For the eighth consecutive year, DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin presented a balanced budget that does not increase the County’s portion of the property tax levy. “This has been the toughest budget I’ve had to present,” Cronin. “For eight years, we’ve continually done more with less, and cut government spending while still meeting our service obligations. Any further cuts, and we will hit bone.” The total budget is $433.8 million, down $5.8 million from the previous fiscal year, and $43.9 million less than Fiscal Year 2011, Chairman Cronin’s first year in office. The proposed property tax rate remains flat at $66.9 million for the 11th straight year. The total full-time headcount is 2,167, which is down from 2,270 in FY 2011.

sive, CPT Network Solutions is a repeat honoree, sustaining its impressive growth over the course of several years. “Our team - from executives to techs across the country - focuses on delivering quality for our customers every day,” said CEO Tom Chesna. “We have deep knowledge of these systems, and we grew up in the field. The results we deliver
for clients have obviously meant results for us, and we couldn’t be more proud of that growth.” The Inc. 5000 list measures the growth of independent, private, for-profit companies. Rankings are made based on revenue growth from 2014 to 2017. This year’s list was especially competitive, with no company growing by less than 50 percent over the past three years.
CPT Network Solutions crushed that statistic with a growth rate of 91 percent and 2017 revenue of $26 million, coming in at No. 3,297. This is not the first time the company has been honored for its growth. CPT made the Inc. 5000 in 2013 and made the Crain’s Chicago Business Fast Fifty list in 2014. CPT Network Solutions focuses on ensuring its national retail,
hospitality, healthcare and financial clients have the technology they need and that it works for them. CPT specializes in point of sale systems, wireless services, voice, data and video, electrical services, low voltage services, technology deployments and maintenance services.
