The world of technology is always expanding. There is buzz in the atmosphere. The world of technology in the "cloud" is upon us and there are messages (some clearer than others) about what this means. Our office has been educating business owners and executives in Denver metro about the Cloud.  One place to start is our article that was published in May 2011 as well as in our monthly print newsletters.

CMIT Denver has operated as a managed services provider (MSP)  of IT since 2006. Now, we have the industry credential validating that we are at the top of our game in taking care of our managed clients in an ever-changing environment by following our industry standards and best practices. On September 19, 2011, CMIT Denver earned the CompTIA MSP Partners Trustmark credential. Click here for our MSP Trustmark directory profile.

To help business owners and decision makers navigate their way in the world of business technology, we wrote a book as a guide - "I JUST Want My Computers to Work."  Now, you can have your own copy of our book. This is our gift to you. A second volume of our CMIT library is in the works with plans to have it published in 2013.

The Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Debi Bush, says, "We are the information technology partner for small and medium-sized businesses here in Denver. Whether it's a 7 person single location office or a 100 person firm with multiple locations, our highly skilled team works with the client for a solution that makes good business sense. Our clients trust our team with their business (specifically their IT) so they can focus on propelling their business forward and keeping it productive and revenue generating."

    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.

    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.

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.

"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!   "
"[You can expect to] find an organization that is genuinely interested in becoming a business partner to a CFO’s business. I think they have very professional employees on staff who understand the issues of technology that must be addressed when configuring somebody’s network. They also have individuals who aren’t so tech savvy that they are not able to speak to the normal user of a...
"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...
