An Expert IT Team Committed to Your Success
Our History
In 1982, what is now CRU Solutions was founded by Jim Kerr as a software development company. That year, Time magazine chose the computer as its “Man of the Year.” Time reasoned, “There are some occasions […] when the most significant force in a year’s news is not a single individual but a process, and a widespread recognition by a whole society that this process is changing the course of all other processes.” Indeed.
In 1991, we added hardware and computer repairs to provide a one-stop client solution.
By the mid-2000s, with the advent of remote monitoring and management tools, we shifted the company’s business model to managed IT services.
More than 40 years later, CRU Solutions continues to thrive through the sometimes turbulent, but always fascinating, evolution of both technology and business. Jim is the President of CRU and virtual CIO for our clients. His son, Nick, is also a key member of the CRU team.
