CRU Solutions delivers secure, trusted business IT support throughout Northeast Ohio. We generally help organizations that need smart IT solutions for up to 100 people working in Microsoft Windows environments.
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 and business IT support.
Now, more than 40 years later, CRU Solutions continues to thrive through the 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.
We seek out and develop talent who have a gift for both technical ability and strong customer service. Together, our skills range from answering quick support calls to designing complete IT infrastructures from the ground up. We focus on effective communication in everything we do.
