PCRx Has Got Your Back(Up)
Mark Jackson and Dek Prentice deliver peace of mind for some of the most influential people within a 60-mile radius of Muskogee.
In 2004, the two founded PCRx, a technology consulting firm that provides remote backup and networking services for several hundred clients in and around their home office on Tull Avenue. In a computer-driven business world, information technology professionals are often the most called upon to provide solutions – and in some cases, save the day.
“We both have backgrounds in IT; Dek [the company’s vice president] was the IT director for the schools and I had experience in IT from my time in the Air Force and Navy,” says Jackson, now president of PCRx. “We both recognized that locally, no one was fully addressing the IT needs of the business sector here, and that led us to start the company.”
PCRx is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and a Microsoft Certified Small Business Specialist. The company’s 11 employees each have more than 10 years of experience in computer and networking installation, repair and maintenance support and a minimum of six years of experience in working with all versions of Microsoft Windows and Office software products.
Today, PCRx has a broad range of clients, from accountants and attorneys to manufacturing facilities and nonprofits, Jackson says.
Thanks to the very technology in which they specialize, the partners can work with clients who are located virtually anywhere, affording them the luxury of stationing their business here, right where they prefer to be.
“Muskogee is where our families are, and it is a great place to live,” Jackson says. “There are a lot of opportunities for small businesses here.”
