Well our one month evaluation of 3 tablet models is ready for a wrap up and this is it. The CMIT Solutions Stamford team evaluated the iPad2, Blackberry Playbook and the Samsung Galaxy and we've been busy this month! Our main questions were this:Q: How does the tablet compare to other mobile devices? Can it replace a laptop or netbook?Q: Can you really run your business life on it?As you know

Before Outlook 2003, PST files used ANSI encoding which limited the size to 2Gb, and beyond 2Gb Outlook would not recognize the file. In Outlook 2003 and newer they reconfigured this to allow for a default maximum PST file size of 20Gb using Unicode encoding. The maximum file size can also be configured to be larger if needed.The location of the archive file can be an issue as well, specifically

  YES!!!!! I just completed a cost-benefit analysis for one our clients that was concerned that they didn’t need a plan with “all the bells and whistles”.  The analysis for them proved to me again that the cost of being on a flat-rate plan that includes Help Desk is more cost effective. Specifically, we provided them with 33.44 hours of Help Desk services over the past 7 months (this is a 10 PC

We do get this question from our clients sometimes.  It typically happens after being with us for close to a year.  Their environment is stable, there are few if any problems, they never get involved with IT.  As part of a expense review (like all good business people should do), they ask themselves, so why am I paying this money every month? That is like asking your dentist why come in for a

Little over five years ago (I still can’t believe its been 5 years!!!!) after I had made the decision to become a CMIT Solutions owner / operator, I jumped into action to learn what I didn’t know.  I had heard of SCORE but didn’t really know the extent of their services.  But I was willing to give them a call because they were free (yes, FREE!).  I had never run my own company, and I knew I didn’

A fellow CMIT owner, Gary Churchill recently asked me this question.  It’s a good one.  The short answer is that I do.  In the beginning I felt a little intimidated by writing to the “world wide cloud”.  Because of that intimidation, I held off for a while feeling that I had to hire someone to write it and make sure my grammar and flow was high quality.  After just not being organized enough, I

Okay, so right after I published the last article on Microsoft Cloud services, it suddenly dawned on me, “What about BPOS?”. What on earth is BPOS you ask? BPOS stands for Business Productivity Online Standard Suite. My CMIT colleague Debbie Bush has been making comments about BPOS for a while now (she is on the Microsoft IT Advisory Council and she is sooooo pro Microsoft). I had taken a look
