CDW provides technology products and services—from hardware to security systems to cloud computing—for businesses, schools, and the government. Founded in 1984, the company emerged from a $3 <i data-stringify-type="italic">Chicago Tribune</i> classified advertisement to sell a used computer in 1982. CDW was publicly traded from 1993 until 2007 (when it went private in a $7.3 billion deal by Madison Dearborn Partners and Providence Equity Partners) and it made its <i data-stringify-type="italic">Fortune</i> 500 debut in 2001 at No. 435. Today the Illinois company is public once again, thanks to a 2013 IPO on the Nasdaq, and counts more than 10,000 employees and 250,000 customers.
