About the Owner

Iain understands first-hand the challenges of building and growing a small business. Jumping at the chance to be part of an aviation technology spinoff from a large aerospace manufacturer, he directed the marketing of the venture's technology that formed the basis for in-flight delivery of weather data.

From there, Iain became the first employee of another startup that pioneered the use of Iridium satellites to track aircraft. In addition to handling marketing and communications, he was the de facto "IT-guy" for the rapidly growing business. Within a couple of years, now with more than a dozen employees, several mission-critical networks, and remote offices, Iain tackled the question about how to handle the increasing IT challenges. The broad expertise offered by an established IT services firm proved to be the best solution. Iain was thus freed up to help to position the company for acquisition just five years after it was founded.

Customer advocacy has always guided Iain's approach to business and marketing. From handling client relations in foreign countries to troubleshooting tracking systems in the belly of a jumbo jet, he values his customers' trust to get the job done. As a private pilot and member of Civil Air Patrol, Iain appreciates the importance of collaboration and commitment, doing things methodically and efficiently, and meeting the highest of standards.

    You wouldn’t expect a mechanic to repair an engine with his bare hands, and salespeople are no less dependent on tools to be effective.

    Pretty much everyone in Sam Gupta’s family – his brothers and father especially – runs their own business. So after working in IT project management while his wife completed medical school and moved the family to Pittsburgh to take a job at the VA Hospital there, Gupta looked to jumpstart his own entrepreneurial path. The only catch was Gupta didn’t want to spend years building the business to profitability.

    Here are five tasks you can do on your iPad to help grow your small business:

    ART Liscano knows he's an endangered species in the job market: He's a meter reader in Fresno, California.

    For 26 years, he's driven from house to house, checking how much electricity Pacific Gas & Electric customers have used.

    But PG&E doesn't need many people like Mr Liscano making rounds anymore. Every day, the utility replaces 1200 old-fashioned meters with digital versions that can collect information without human help, generate more accurate power bills, even send an alert if the power goes out.

    Five years after the start of the Great Recession, the toll is terrifyingly clear: Millions of middle-class jobs have been lost in developed countries the world over.

It’s no secret that creativity feeds on contrasting perspectives. Innovative ideas are often sparked by mixing up the concepts and perspectives of quite different disciplines, stirring the pot of metaphorical reasoning we all carry within our own minds. Read...

For many businesses, the days of the cash register and centralized checkout are over. Today, grocery store customers can scan items as they place them in their cart. Restaurant servers can run credit cards right at the table. Sales people who are constantly in the field, can process payments on their mobile devices.

Face it.  Webinars are harder to do well than you care to admit.  It’s not the same communicating with a group of people without the visual and verbal feedback that most presenters use to assure they are connecting with their audience.  So what can you do to improve your rapport with your webinar attendees?

"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!   "
