A Refreshing
Managed Services Solution

Riverstrong is a progressive North American managed services provider with a passion for people and doing IT better.

Our mission is to reinvent the IT managed services landscape by providing personalized IT solutions that organizations across industries can trust. We use our expertise and passion for people to simplify our customers’ lives and deliver tangible results — so they can focus on what matters most.

Our Origin Story

Our journey begins with our CEO, Gopi Ramineni, and his passionate drive to revolutionize organizations using the latest technological advancements. In 2008, he founded our parent company, Gerent, which brings the magic of customer relationship management to businesses around the world. Having transformed hundreds of companies over the years, Gopi noticed a common theme: many don’t know where to start. While numerous organizations want to sharpen their competitive edge using state-of-the-art software, they lack the resources required to take their very first steps and use subpar equipment. Many don’t have the basic hardware, systems, computers, and know-how required to keep pace with their industry peers and evolve. As a firm believer in providing customers with a full range of IT services and meeting all of their end-to-end needs, Gopi launched Riverstrong. Since that time, we’ve been busy closing the pervasive IT managed services support gap, and enabling organizations to get to the next level.
