TPAIT was founded on a simple premise: Third-Party Administrators deserve an IT partner who actually understands their business.

Generic IT providers don't know what a Form 5500 is. They don't understand why your plan administration server needs priority attention during annual valuations. They've never heard of ERISA fiduciary responsibility or the DOL's cybersecurity guidance.

We're different. Our leadership spent nearly two decades inside the TPA industry—as CIO and CTO at multiple national firms, building the technology infrastructure that powered retirement plan administration for hundreds of thousands of participants.

Mike Parker

CEO & Co-Founder, CRC Cloud®

CRC Cloud brings more than 40 years of combined IT experience, and I personally bring more than two decades of leadership specifically in the retirement plan industry. I've spent nearly 20 years as CIO and CTO at multiple national TPA companies, building the systems, security frameworks, and IT operations that enabled plan administration at scale.

I understand what it means to be responsible for participant data, to prepare for DOL audits, and to ensure systems are available when plan sponsors and participants are counting on you. That experience drives everything we do at TPAIT.
