Michael Hunter

Michael has worked in investment banking, commercial banking, real estate, and finance. He has used his experience in corporate America, coupled with his experience running a smaller business (50 employees), and has gathered a team of local Austin IT professionals dedicated to being “your technology team” so that clients can focus on their business while CMIT Solutions of Central Austin focuses on their technology.

Michael’s multi-faceted career in both large enterprise and small company environments has led him to the firm belief in the need for smaller businesses to ensure they are using technology to maximize efficiency, increase productivity, increase revenue and reduce costs. The proper use of outsourced IT services is critical for the success of small to mid-sized businesses in today's marketplace, and it takes a complete understanding of a client’s business and its goals and objectives to guide them in the most efficient use of the information technology available to them.

Michael is committed to being a trusted resource and IT solution provider for local Austin businesses so they can get the computer and network support they need to help them remain competitive in their fields. The increasing complexity of managing network security, data backup, and data recovery has only added to the reasons for involving a qualified team of IT consulting professionals.

 

The Giant Tablet that Opens a World of Possibilities

How do you and your colleagues currently collaborate? Do you struggle with poor image-quality video conferencing? An inability to spontaneously share ideas and documents?

CMIT Impression will change everything you know about visual collaboration, because it’s not merely a videophone or big screen. It’s a full-fledged, touch-enabled PC with the ability to facilitate the exchange of ideas in ways that, until now, just weren’t possible.

Think Big.

Present, annotate and collaborate on a giant tablet with meeting participants in the room and around the world. CMIT Impression puts everything you need to visually present, capture and share ideas at your fingertips – all beautifully integrated into a single device.

  • Multi-touch high definition 55-inch display
  • High performance Intel i5 PC running the latest Windows 7 Pro
  • Full version of Microsoft Office
  • Digital whiteboard
  • High definition 720p camera with 4 integrated microphones
  • Voice-optimized sound bar for improved dialogue clarity

CMIT Impression’s  touch-enabled monitor allows HD video conferencing for multiple locations, document presentation and collaborative editing, and an interactive whiteboard feature, in addition to all the other things you can do with a PC, such as browsing the Internet.

Sharing documents and visuals during a meeting from any device is amazingly easy with a folder anyone in the meeting can access. Now, you can spontaneously brainstorm and capture ideas with colleagues or clients, then save to review later or email directly to meeting participants.

Visually Connect From Anywhere.

You and your colleagues or clients can securely connect to your network via its built-in WiFi allowing any authorized user in your network to share, view, and control their presentation from their PC, tablet, or smartphone.

Not in the room? No problem. Remote participants can see what’s on the screen via a webpage.

And, thanks to Vidtel’s high-quality conferencing service, Impression delivers image quality that you need to see to believe.

Now, meetings are more productive, content is more immersive, and audiences are more engaged. CMIT Impression smashes the traditional barriers that previously made video conferencing complicated, closed, and too costly for most businesses.

    When IT engineer Susan Bateman worked as a project manager for IBM, she noticed that, during conference calls, a member of her technical team from IBM India always called her "Sir."

    After the third time it happened, she asked, "Last summer when you worked with me in Boulder, did you think I was a man?" He answered "Oh, no, Susan! It's just that I've never had a lady boss before."

    Hotel Wi-Fi is counterintuitive: Low-budget spots tend to offer it free of charge, while luxury resorts charge an arm and a leg. But that may soon change as customers start demanding free wireless as a basic human right.

    In 2010, travelers have come to expect a few complimentary amenities when they check into their rooms. And as travelers look to stay connected on the road, reliable high-speed Internet access is increasingly on the short list of hotel necessities - especially wireless access, or Wi-Fi.

Here's her take on the experience.

"Businesses that even are doing well may not want to upgrade all kinds of technology because of the cash-flow issue."

    It's a small-business owner's worst nightmare - computer failure, loss of data, anything that makes the business stop or shut down. In the case of Scott Peck, from Escondido CPA firm Dunlap, Dunlap and Peck, it was a well-meaning intern who accidentally deleted the company's 5,000-person contact list.

    "Luckily, when I heard about it, I just laughed," Peck said.

Change isn’t always necessarily a bad thing, but if it has a detrimental effect on your ability to communicate, it’s hard to argue that it’s not. Especially when those changes are made without warning and without your permission.

So what is this change? Last week, Facebook summarily decided that its users should be using their @facebook.com address (did you even know you had an @...

The cloud is indispensable but still prone to outages — and MSPs can reduce the risk

We all know cloud computing is here to stay. It’s too easy to maintain, too flexible and too cheap to not use — especially if you’re a small business owner with data storage needs and functions that strain your average on-site server.

"For our [clinical research facility], it was better to have a preventive plan in place so that if something did break, we would be ahead of it, and it wouldn’t break instead of waiting for something to happen and then fix it. So, now CMIT is monitoring everything, and we haven’t had any issues so they can catch the problem before it even happens. "
"CMIT is all about peace of mind, and literally, it doesn't cost you anything because you are saving the money on me working on the computer when I'm losing business. In today's economy, you don't want to be late sending bills out, you've got to be out there because if you start falling behind you're going to see the amount of income drop dramatically. So, Greg and CMIT make us look more...
"Whereas our systems were originally only getting backed up on a monthly basis, CMIT was able to come in and now they are automatically backed up to the server. We had a center in the DFW area that did lose everything. They made a phone call to CMIT, and CMIT was able to restore their data within a couple of hours. We’re monitored on a 24/7 basis, so even if there was something that were to...
"The way CMIT does business is just much more suitable for our type of business environment. We have deadlines and critical schedules to meet, and we need to be moving forward at all times. CMIT provides data on a monthly basis, which allows us to look at trends and be proactive with our decisions and our methods for improving our system. Every time my system improves, that means my efficiency...
"CMIT dealt with my local backup needs so that if I just need to get one specific piece of information, they can actually do it remotely from their office and get my people back and going. If I do have a catastrophic disaster that takes my entire building, I have laptops and everything else that I can have up immediately. I can use my web-based information storage and be back up and running...
"We pride ourselves that we are the company that gives instant customer service. We were getting to a point where it was extremely difficult, and we didn't want to lose our customer base. We wanted to also expand. I said, 'I need somebody to do something to allow us to be the company that we started out to be and to continue and to grow.' CMIT has helped us to do just that.   "
"Since partnering with CMIT, I can now not worry about whether or not my computers are working. I've got backups, monitoring, I can get reports, and I know where I'm having risks and threats. I now can rely on my IT people (CMIT) to take care of my IT problems and to keep that IT system up and running in an appropriate manner. That is something before I couldn't rely on. I now have a system!...
"We didn’t initiate offsite backups in the beginning, but with the start of the hurricane season we said, 'OK guys, we now have this wonderful system, but it's not really complete yet.' We're now able to back up our data, it's safely transported and stored offsite, and it’s all HIPAA compliant. And the NAS device can actually work as our server so we can continue to use our systems and do...
"With other IT service providers, we felt that we only got assistance when we requested it, and we normally came up with any ideas for improvements on our system rather than them. I was not impressed with the service, the communication or the end product at that point. Our experience has really set CMIT and Sue and John who run the show for them here apart from the others. They are more...
"We use large aerial imagery that can sometimes be 30 or 40 GB in size. There would be times that I would wait 30 seconds to a minute and a half for an image to appear. CMIT Solutions helped us rehabilitate the computers on hand, put in a network infrastructure, and put in faster switches. Now, it can be instantaneous to 15 seconds for a map to load. I kind of feel like I'm spoiled!   "
