“Excellent service! I am always amazed at how smart the consultants at Cranston are. Yesterday, I had an issue that they helped me solve, and the consultant knew things that just impressed me so much, and made me feel so confident that we selected the right company to help with our IT needs. They are responsive, smart, and have always explained issues in terms that I can understand.”

“Cranston IT took the time to learn our specific business needs and has done a tremendous job of assisting our organization in the transition from our former IT provider. Not only are they responsive, but they have made suggestions for improvement that has helped us immensely. They have experienced professionals that can resolve complex issues thoroughly. Highly recommend.”

“Excellent work over years of service. We have been using Cranston IT for the last 4 years. They are prompt, reliable and complete work accurately. Their efforts have been integral as our longitudinal database has grown in size and complexity.”

Jon Rittenberger

University of Pittsburgh/Dept of Emergency Medicine

“I don’t know what I’d do without this consultant. We are a small office and we rely on this consultant to advise and guide us through options available to improve our business functions. We also do not have the time or expertise to troubleshoot issues and we are grateful for the immediate response to our cries for help.”

Gymkhana Gymnastics

“Continuing to minimize my workload. Spent hours learning Filemaker and created an app that met some of our business needs, but I knew the system was capable of much more. When I evaluated the time and effort it would take me to learn additional techniques within Filemaker, I knew the time had come to hire IT help. My relationship with Cranston IT and my assigned consultant has proven invaluable to reducing my data entry time and processing.”
