History

Established in 1998.

1998-2000 Cybernautic was started in 1998 with a 133MHZ computer with 64MB of RAM and a 1GB Hard drive in a basement in Bloomington, IL. Chad Parker, our founder and CEO, began Cybernautic at the age of 17. Driven by a passion for unwavering attention to detail, Cybernautic quickly outgrew the confines of its humble beginnings. 2001-2006 In 2001, after adding several employees, Cybernautic moved into a 2,000 sq. ft. office in downtown Bloomington, IL. In an effort to provide around the clock support and development, we opened an office in Baguio City, Philippines in 2006. Their 8am is our 5pm so around the clock support at Cybernautic doesn't require the traditional 'third shift.' 2007-today By late 2008 we had outgrown the Bloomington office and moved our headquarters to a beautiful new 3,500 sq ft studio in neighboring Normal, IL. Just a few months after that (Jan 2009) we opened an office in Peoria, IL to better serve the growing list of clients in the Greater Peoria area.
