AUSTIN, Texas – Keeping America’s small and mid-size businesses (SMB) productive in 2012 has provided CMIT Solutions a platform to expand its franchise footprint coast to coast.
The nation’s leading provider of information technology (IT) services to the SMB community announced today that it has already exceeded it’s 2012 growth goals, a result of carefully executed expansion, innovative service offerings and unrelenting demand for affordable, best-in-class IT support.
“There is no arguing that we are in a Golden Age of technology advancement for small and mid-size businesses. Costs are coming down and new solutions arrive nearly every day,” said Jeff Connally, president and CEO of Austin, Texas-based CMIT Solutions. “However, to keep pace and ensure business continuity without disruptions, the SMB community needs a trusted partner -- an IT solutions provider that can manage their infrastructure with customized support, and that is where CMIT Solutions is making its mark.”
Indicative of the company’s leading edge offerings, service standards and client satisfaction, CMIT Solutions has eclipsed its projected 2012 growth by nearly 20 percent. Thus far in 2012, 17 new franchise owners are operating offices. And, revenues in 2011 and 2012, from October (2011) through September (2012), are up 32 percent on average at offices open more than two years.
With momentum on its side and persistent SMB demand to keep computer systems running as efficiently as possible with the right software, hardware and virtual solutions, CMIT Solutions projects 2013 to be another extraordinary growth phase.
“We’re at a point in our company’s evolution where we are sailing past the competition,” added Connally. “Our technology partners are second to none and the quality of individuals we are awarding franchises to is beyond compare. Its good to be CMIT Solutions.”
Focused franchise growth plans for the remainder of 2012 and into 2013 forecasts expanding in top-tier U.S. markets, including Detroit, Las Vegas, Southern California and Washington D.C.

“Complacency is something we cannot afford,” said Sheri Vandermause, vice president of franchise development for CMIT Solutions. “CMIT Solutions’ clients count on us for 24/7 support…we want our franchisees to feel the same way. Running a business isn’t always easy, but, with two-way communication and regular sharing of best practices, we are seeing great things happen for our company and clients.”
