Brent Crane Computer Consulting (Sole Proprietorship)
"Brent has been a great resource for Firelight in identifying our IT needs as we moved to being an international virtual team. He informed our transition from on premise email / calendar, file server and PBX systems to the cloud. His background with nonprofit organizations and his essential IT experience were invaluable to our organization’s upgrade to cloud servers. His nonprofit organization experience helped us utilize cloud companies that provided deep discounts to nonprofits. He provided thoughtful guidance for everything from selecting the correct service for the organization to implementation. Brent is always responsive and he knows how to talk to non-IT staff members clearly and without acronyms. "
