Local IT support

IT services built for Kittanning.

As the Armstrong County seat, Kittanning is home to a mix of professional services, healthcare providers, municipal offices, and small retailers that all depend on reliable technology. From law firms along Market Street to manufacturing operations near the Allegheny River, every business here needs IT infrastructure that performs without excuses.

The Kittanning area faces some unique connectivity challenges. Older commercial buildings along Main Street don't always have modern wiring. ISP options can be limited compared to metro areas. And many businesses here operate with smaller teams, which means there's rarely a dedicated IT person on staff to handle day-to-day issues, let alone plan for long-term infrastructure needs.

That's exactly the gap MCR fills. We act as your full IT department, handling everything from network design and server maintenance to security monitoring and emergency support. For businesses in Kittanning, Ford City, Worthington, and the surrounding Route 28 corridor, having a managed IT partner just minutes away makes a real difference.

Whether you're running a dental practice, a construction company, an insurance agency, or a municipal office, your technology should support your work, not slow it down. Our proactive approach means we catch problems before they become outages, keep your systems patched and secured, and ensure your team can focus on serving the community instead of troubleshooting printers and Wi-Fi dead zones.

Why MCR

Why Kittanning businesses choose MCR

We're right down the road

Our headquarters sits at 250 SR 1018 in Kittanning. When your network goes down or you need hands-on help, we don't have to drive in from Pittsburgh. We're already here in Armstrong County, which means faster response times and the kind of face-to-face relationship you can't get from a distant call center.

We understand small-town business

Kittanning isn't downtown Pittsburgh, and the IT needs reflect that. Businesses here often run leaner, wear more hats, and need technology that just works without constant hand-holding. We build solutions sized for Armstrong County operations, not overpriced enterprise packages dressed down for a smaller budget.

20+ years rooted in this community

Michael DiLauro founded MCR after decades in IT across Western Pennsylvania. That experience includes working with businesses up and down the Allegheny River valley, from Ford City manufacturing operations to professional offices on Market Street. We know the infrastructure, the ISP limitations, and the real-world tech challenges businesses face here.

Emergency response you can count on

When a server crashes during tax season at an accounting firm on Butler Road, or a dental office on Arthur Street loses connectivity mid-morning, every minute matters. Our 1-2 hour emergency response means we can be at your door before the problem spirals into lost revenue.
