Jason Arabian, President of CMIT of Central RI, decided to invest in a CMIT franchise in January of 2005. Jason, who has degrees in Entrepreneurial Studies and Business put over a year of research into this decision. He was most impressed with CMIT and the leverage that CMIT's national alliances with leading technology companies such as Dell, Intuit and Microsoft could offer in providing great value and customized solutions to meet clients' specific needs.

In July of 2006, Jason seized the opportunity to merge CMIT Solutions of Central RI with a local firm, CCS Computing and Technologies (CCS), in Portsmouth. This venture has provided area businesses with an increased breadth of IT services and products. Since the merger, his staff has tripled in size and sales have grown exponentially. Jason has been honored 5 times by CMIT. In 2006, Jason received the Rising Star Award; in 2007, the Breakout Award; in 2008, the Franchise of the Year Award; in 2010, the Franchise of the Month Award for April and the Franchise of the Year Award again for 2011. Jason is also a founding member of the CMIT Pacesetters/Masterminds Club.

    ESCONDIDO ---- Ken Hamilton used to fly around the country as the technological Mr. Fix-it for big corporate clients. But since he bought his own franchise, he gets to stay within driving distance of home.

    Hamilton's specialty is computer technology. He helps companies buy the right computers, install security and meet the other tasks needed to keep corporate systems running.

    Now president of CMIT Solutions of Inland North County, Hamilton says staying local lets him participate in the community while still doing his job. That's something he said was hard while working for 18 years as part of a Hewlett Packard business-to-business sales team.

    AUSTIN, Texas --(Business Wire)-- CMIT Solutions has announced the release of a CMIT Service Center, a service desk product that allows companies with in-house information technology (IT) teams to improve the quality, efficiency, and availability of IT support while eliminating the need for extra headcount or multiple vendors.

    Your IT staff has been cut in half. You’re in the process of upgrading your server configuration to leverage virtualization and data encryption. You’re comparing proposals from different email management service vendors. And, in the middle of all this action, you get a phone call from someone in payroll who is in a panic because he’s unable to enter his password and can’t access his accounting software. You spend five minutes calming the guy down and another five minutes diagnosing his machine remotely.

    Looming Social Security and pensions weren't economically stimulating enough at the Everett home of John and Sue Smythe.

    They started looking around for an investment that would supplement their retirement. Both say they found the franchise opportunity of their dreams.

    "I don't think we ever wanted to retire in the traditional sense," Sue Smythe said. "We both enjoy intellectual stimulation. It keeps us feeling young. And it doesn't feel like we're working. We're doing something that feels good and makes us happy."

    And when they do want to slow down, they'll have a manager run CMIT Solutions, offering information technology services to small- and midsize businesses. On Thursday, they received a Leadership Award from CMIT at a national convention for giving back to the organization and mentoring new franchisees.

"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!   "
