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.

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.
