About the Owner
Beth Burnside
Beth Burnside is convinced that there is a better way to serve small to mid-sized businesses and organizations in the Erie area that are becoming increasingly dependent on technology, as she has personally struggled with finding an outsourced IT services provider that could be a true business advisor for a family business interest she has in the Erie area. A complete understanding of a client’s business and its goals and objectives is necessary to guide them in the most efficient use of the information technology available to them. Beth is committed to being a trusted resource and IT solution provider for local Erie 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 who understand your business to ensure you are best managing the challenges that technology can bring to your business.
Beth’s multi-faceted career in both large enterprise and small company environments has led her 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. Beth has worked in marketing, sales, purchasing, human resources, accounting, and finance and holds an MBA from the Pennsylvania State University. She has used her experience in corporate America coupled with her experience running smaller businesses and has gathered a team of local Erie IT consulting professionals dedicated to being “your technology team” so that clients can focus on their business while CMIT Solutions of Erie focuses on their technology.

What We Do For Our Clients
Proactive IT support and maintenance: Our CMIT Marathon preventative maintenance service provides flat rate, round-the-clock maintenance and monitoring of your network and computers. We provide and manage everything needed to keep your business network productive and protected.
Remote data backup, disaster recovery, & business continuity: Our CMIT Guardian remote backup and disaster recovery services protect your business from those unexpected losses and down time caused by Mother Nature, or human nature. We can set you up with on-site backups, remote backups, or a backup server in case yours goes out of commission.
Email security and protection: Our CMIT Anti-Spam service keeps the annoying bad stuff out of your Inbox, and protects your Outbox from being hijacked and getting you Blacklisted. RADAR archiving saves your email, for as long as you want, even if you delete it from your computer. And email Encryption protects you from liability associated with sending private information over public email networks.
Printer Management: Keeping all those printers printing can cost you a small fortune. With CMIT Print, we monitor the daily usage of your printers and show you exactly how much money you can save on cartridges, paper, energy and service.
Cloud Computing: Our CMIT Anywhere cloud based services can provide anytime, anywhere access to your business information and resources. From hosting your email to putting your entire network in the cloud, we can help you decide if the cloud is right for you.
Hardware and software purchasing: CMIT Solutions is a Dell Premier Partner, the highest level of Dell partnership that you can attain. We have Dell support, services and pricing available to us that most IT companies don’t have access to. For all the other hardware and software products you need, we have accounts with major distributors across the country, and we can set you up with unique leasing programs to help with cash flow.
Mobile Device Consulting: BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is invading businesses everywhere. Employees are walking in the door with the latest smart phones and tablet devices, and they want to use them to conduct their work and stay connected to the business. Sounds good, right? Well, as a business owner, do you REALLY understand what that means and the liabilities it brings? Our Mobility consulting service and Mobility Acceptable Use Policy protect your business from the downside of BYOD.
VoIP Telephone Service: With CMIT Voice, we provide a hosted VoIP telephone service that provides the easiest way for your business to take advantage of the convenience and benefits VoIP provides for your business and customers.

This has not been a good few weeks for the world of Internet security. Just over a month ago, business-networking site LinkedIn had the passwords of millions of its users posted to a hacker forum.
Today, Yahoo! Inc. confirmed that a file containing what appear to be usernames and passwords for 453,492 accounts had briefly been posted online. However, it appears that it's not just Yahoo...

For many small-business owners, spending time “at the office” is becoming more and more of a luxury. With days spent out on sales calls, networking, running errands, or generally being out-and-about, owners often have limited time for staying on top of day-to-day operations.
Fortunately, recent advances in technology provide powerful methods for staying connected while on-...

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 @...

"If you’ve ever wondered how big a difference CMIT Solutions can make for a small business, here’s a case study:
LuAnn Gossett used to consider computers a necessary evil. As administrative assistant for the Mental Health Association of Northwestern PA, Gossett spent about 30 percent of her time troubleshooting computer problems in the 40-person office.
Email would be out. Computers wouldn’t...
"CMIT is excellent; they do excellent work for us. CMIT is efficient-- they are on top of everything and aren’t just plugging holes or solving issues as they arise-- they are preventing them from happening in the first place. They are also an industrious and competent business. They are strong and communicative as well. I have no issues with getting in touch with them and their service is great...
"Beth is our IT person and tells us what we should upgrade and how our system is doing twenty four hours a day. If it wasn’t monitored around the clock we would have no idea if something was going haywire.They also have personality and professionalism. Justin has never made me feel stupid with whatever problem I have. They are always there for you and that is important to have that relationship...
"Beth and Justin are consummate. It’s great working with them because they put their IT terms into lay-men terms for me and make it easier to understand. They are also on our beck and call which is really important for us. I will continue to use them because of their good work. I feel like I’m in good hands with CMIT. I certainly appreciate their personal touch.
We don’t have funding for an IT...
"We’re a small family-owned manufacturing business and when I started working here we had one computer and two typewriters. I knew a little about computers and felt we needed to become more technologically advanced, so I became the IT guy. Suddenly we have to network another computer and another one and another one and it just got to a point where I was in over my head. It was too much for me to...
"Our clients might not perceive this, but Coventina Day Spa is highly dependent on our business technology to ensure we deliver the highest quality spa experience. If we lost access to our appointment scheduling system, not only would we lose the ability to immediately schedule new appointments, we would have clients walking in the door and we would not know what services they were to...
"Beth is a very energetic person and she's brought a lot of good ideas to us, because she looks at computer problems from a business as well as a technical perspective, she's able to think outside the box and comes to me with innovative new ideas. She listens very well, and she's asked us some pointed questions, and she's come up with a couple of very creative solutions for us.
Many outsourced...
"So at one point in history, your backup may be reliable and up-to-date, but with the information being so critical and with it changing literally thousands of times a day, having that backup through the Guardian system, almost a minute-by-minute backup, makes me feel very confident that the information, if we ever had a disaster here, if we had a fire, a tornado, or something of that disastrous...
"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...
