About
Alined Consulting is a Chicago IT consulting and staffing firm with an AI practice built on Claude for mid-market and enterprise clients. Co-founders Tom Parker and Brendon Cody lead it; LinkedIn lists 11 to 50 staff and a 2021 founding. AI work starts with a four to eight week value accelerator that its brochure prices from $75,000. Four case studies name three clients: a Claude proposal builder for AVANT Communications that the firm reports cut drafting from hours to under a minute, a Shedd Aquarium Power BI migration it reports came in 20% under estimate, and two Claude and Microsoft 365 projects for The Gardner School. Staffing remains a large part of the business. Its Clutch profile has no reviews.
