Our IT expert team is what sets PCR Business Systems apart from other Akron IT companies. Each member of our team shares our core values and brings a unique set of skills, experience, and expertise to PCR.
Instead of one or two people managing your business technology, when you partner with PCR, you have an entire team of IT experts managing your information technology systems and cybersecurity. Having an entire team of IT experts means we can dedicate a technician to assist you wherever needed. We always have someone on hand to help if you have a question or if a problem arises.
As we celebrate our 21st year in business, we would like to recognize and thank our team of IT experts, many of whom have been with PCR since the early days (a fact we are very proud of). We look forward to continuing to grow our team over the years ahead so that we can continue to provide Northeast Ohio businesses with the very best IT services.
Meet our team of IT experts!
