Your Remote Workforce Needs a Modern Foundation
Disconnected teams. Data stuck on old servers. No backup if disaster strikes. Legacy systems hold your business back. Cloud solutions deliver flexibility, security, and peace of mind — with local support to manage it all.
Legacy Systems Are Costing You Productivity
Remote Work Challenges
Your team can't access files from home. Collaboration tools don't work together. Remote-first work requires cloud-first infrastructure.
Data Loss Risk
Files on local servers. Manual backups that nobody checks. One hardware failure or ransomware hit and you lose critical business data.
Expensive Hardware Cycles
Servers need replacing every 3–5 years. Constant upgrades and high maintenance costs. Cloud delivers the same capability with a predictable monthly fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cloud services does CMIT Solutions offer in the East Bay?

How disruptive is a cloud migration for a small business?
With proper planning, cloud migrations cause minimal disruption. We start with a detailed assessment, create a phased migration plan, test thoroughly before going live, and provide staff training on new tools. Most small businesses experience zero downtime during migration. We also keep fallback options in place until you're fully satisfied with the new environment.
Is Microsoft 365 right for my small business?
Microsoft 365 Business is the right fit for most small businesses. It includes professional email, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams for video and chat, OneDrive for file storage, and SharePoint for team collaboration — all accessible on any device for a low per-user monthly cost. CMIT handles the licensing, migration, configuration, security setup, and ongoing management.
What is backup and disaster recovery, and why do I need it?
Backup and disaster recovery (BDR) means automatically copying your business data to secure off-site storage, with a tested plan to restore operations if hardware fails, ransomware strikes, or a disaster occurs. Without BDR, a single server failure or ransomware attack can permanently destroy data or shut down your business for days or weeks. With BDR, we can typically restore systems within hours.
Can the cloud save my business money compared to on-premises servers?
For most small businesses, yes. On-premises servers require hardware purchases every 3–5 years, ongoing maintenance, electricity, cooling, and specialized expertise to manage. Cloud infrastructure shifts those costs to predictable monthly subscriptions with no capital expenditure. Total cost of ownership studies consistently show cloud is less expensive for businesses under 100 users when all costs are factored in.
