CMIT Solutions Opens Office in Hickory Region of North Carolina

Aug. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Hickory, N.C. - Small businesses in the Hickory region of North Carolina have a professional and affordable new option when it comes to IT services and support -- CMIT Solutions of Hickory.

With entrepreneur Bruce Felkins at the helm, CMIT Solutions of Hickory offers the kind of IT services and support that was previously only available to large companies, but at a fraction of the cost.

Felkins should know. A seasoned IT executive before he started his CMIT Solutions business, Felkins served as a project manager and competency leader for corporations, such as Texaco, Compaq and IBM.

“Small businesses need the same tools and support that large enterprises need - just on a different scale,” Felkins said. “They need that same assurance that their systems are being watched around the clock. So we take every measure we can to protect confidential business data from viruses, spyware, hackers, and system failures. Smaller businesses also need the same expert advice and problem-solving approach that large businesses receive from high-dollar consultants. CMIT Solutions provides that expertise and customized service at a price that fits a small business’ budget.”

A Houston native, Felkins moved to Hickory more than a decade ago. He and his family quickly fell in love with the area and decided to make a long term commitment to the area.

“I’m excited to be part of the economic development of the region,” said Felkins, noting that both Apple and Google have taken a presence in the region. “No one will work harder than I will when it comes to making sure that our clients’ IT infrastructure functions seamlessly, so that the small business owner can focus on running his or her business.”

Jeff Connally, the CEO of CMIT Solutions, suggested that Felkins is the ideal person to run a CMIT Solutions office.

“Bruce’s IT experience at large corporations combined with the fact that he has had a front row seat of the economic boom that is taking place in Hickory are a powerful combination,” said Connally. “CMIT Solutions, with a knowledge base culled from the experience of other CMIT Solutions offices and their clients, is looking forward to supporting him in this endeavor.”

CMIT Solutions of Hickory also offers local small business owners free online resources on topics ranging from professional networking and making good hiring decisions, to putting the right strategies in place to grow small businesses.
