About RPC Consultants

One point of contact. Deep expertise.

RPC Consultants Technology Services is a Cork-based IT consultancy founded and led by Richard Cronin. Founded in 2001, we have provided managed IT support and custom software development to a close-knit portfolio of clients across Cork and internationally — building a 25-year track record of trusted, reliable service.

What sets us apart is depth of knowledge. We don't spread thin across hundreds of clients — we become genuine experts in your systems, your processes, and your people. When something goes wrong at 9pm on a Friday, you get Richard, not a helpdesk ticket.

From on-premises Windows Server environments to Azure cloud infrastructure, from ANPR parking analytics to cross-platform mobile apps, we bring the same hands-on, considered approach to every engagement.
