Building Stronger Communities Through Technology and Compassion
Guest post from Greater Rochester Chamber member IT Insights of Rochester
IT Insights of Rochester’s Commitment to Giving Back Through Its PosITive Impact Program
At IT Insights of Rochester, success isn’t just about business growth and technology innovation. It's about the people and causes that go beyond business and allow us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around us. Rochester has shaped who we are as a company, from our local roots to the relationships we’ve built, and giving back is one of the ways we show our gratitude.
A People-First Philosophy That Extends Beyond the Office
“We’re not just growing a business, we’re helping our city of Rochester thrive,” says Chris Sirianni, Founder and President of IT Insights of Rochester. That belief has guided IT Insights since its beginning. The company’s commitment to community isn’t a side project – it’s part of how we operate every day.
Through genuine partnerships with schools, nonprofits, and local organizations, IT Insights aims to use technology and teamwork to make a meaningful difference where we live and work.
Supporting Animal Welfare Across Upstate New York
Caring for animals has always been close to the hearts of our team. Over the years, we’ve partnered with two incredible organizations that share that compassion:
Operation Freedom Ride
Our involvement began with sponsorships, but it quickly became personal. Several team members have adopted their pets through Operation Freedom Ride, creating lasting connections that remind us why community partnerships matter.
Lollypop Farm
Our relationship with Lollypop Farm began with one adoption and grew from there. Today, IT Insights supports its mission through event sponsorships and volunteer opportunities, helping ensure that animals in our region receive the care and love they deserve.
Investing in Rochester’s Future Through Education
We know that the future of Rochester’s workforce depends on strong education and opportunity. That’s why we’re proud to support programs that help students explore technology and career development close to home.
Finger Lakes Community College Collaboration
This partnership is especially meaningful to our founder, Chris Sirianni, who began his educational journey at Finger Lakes Community College. IT Insights now collaborates with FLCC to provide mentorship, classroom engagement, and career exploration for students interested in the technology field.
Internship and Mentorship Opportunities
IT Insights offers internship experiences that go beyond observation. Students gain hands-on experience with real IT projects, guided by mentors who help them understand how technology can support both business and community growth.
Empowering Employees to Give Back
Our team members are the heart of our community work. Through our PosITive Impact initiative, we encourage employees to get involved with causes they care about and make space for volunteering during the workday.
Flexible Volunteer Time
Whether supporting a local fundraiser, helping at a shelter, or mentoring students, employees are encouraged to take time to serve where they feel called.
The Center for Youth Partnership
One of our closest partnerships is with The Center for Youth and The Nook food cupboard. Together, we help provide essential supplies and a sense of stability for young people across Monroe County who might be struggling to meet basic needs.
Rooted in Rochester. Growing Together.
At its core, we believe that technology should bring people together, not pull them apart. The same values that drive our client work – collaboration, reliability, and compassion – guide how we show up for our community.
We are humbled by our inclusion on the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce’s Top 100 list. It is an honor, but what means even more to us is being part of a community that values connection, creativity, and care. We’re proud to contribute in any way we can and grateful for the people and organizations who make this region so special.
