CMIT Solutions of Charleston Achieves National Honor

CMIT Solutions of Charleston, the region’s leading information technology solutions and services provider for the small and medium-sized business community, has earned a top national honor. For the month of January, the company presented Daniel Island resident Amy Justis, President of CMIT Solutions of Charleston, with the coveted “Franchisee of the Month” award. “With each new year in business, Amy has continued to impress us,” said Jeff Connally, president and CEO of Austin, Texas-based CMIT Solutions. “Her level of commitment to supporting Charleston’s small and medium-sized business community sets an example for our entire franchise system. We are honored to recognize her team for all of the progress they have made in the past month.” Justis has led CMIT Solutions of Charleston to the top of the CMIT Solutions franchise system in nearly every category the company tracks to determine the award winner, including client satisfaction, client retention, revenue growth, and the number of client devices managed. In addition to being named the January 2016 “Franchisee of the Month,” Justis was also named the October 2014 “Franchisee of the Month” and the 2014 “Rookie of the Year.” “It has been a total team effort,” added Justis. “Without the support of my talented team of technicians, we wouldn’t be where we are today. The recognition serves as a testament to our hard work and determination. We look forward to continue making a difference for our clients in the months and years to come.” CMIT Solutions’ services help companies keep their strategic IT goals in focus by ensuring their computer systems are running, their data is protected, their network is secure, and, most importantly, their employees are productive. As a result, business owners benefit from increased efficiency, strategic information technology advice, and the ability to implement technology changes to improve their competitive posture. CMIT Solutions’ franchise offices are independently owned and operated. Unlike most local IT consultants, CMIT Solutions has established cost-saving relationships with well-known technology partners including Dell, Microsoft, and Intuit. Plus, being part of a national franchise offers the opportunity to tap into a large consulting network of knowledgeable business owners and corporate support staff.
