New novel provides real-world frameworks and guidance to help organizations reduce costs, boost efficiency, enhance cybersecurity and strategically unlock AI’s full potential.
AUSTIN, Texas, December 16, 2025 — CMIT Solutions, a leading Managed Services Provider (MSP) franchisor delivering information technology (IT) and cybersecurity solutions to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), today announced that several of its franchise owners have contributed chapters to a newly released book, titled: Maximizing Business Potential With AI: Protection And Growth Strategies To Multiply Your Business Faster While Avoiding AI Pitfalls.
Designed for entrepreneurs, executives and SMB leaders, the book provides practical frameworks, real-world examples and guidance to help organizations harness the power of AI for tangible performance gains. This includes leveraging the technology to reduce costs, automate repetitive tasks, enhance operational efficiency and improve cybersecurity without requiring additional staff or complex technical knowledge.
“AI is reshaping how teams operate and deliver service, but unlocking its full potential requires intentional, strategic application,” said Roger Lewis, CEO of CMIT Solutions. “In a market where AI’s promise is often overstated, this book gives leaders the clarity and guidance needed to apply AI confidently, fuel lasting innovation and drive long-term business impact without fluff or jargon.”
Since its publication, the book has achieved bestseller status in nine different categories. Unlike other AI-focused business materials, this project takes a distinctly collaborative approach, weaving together the unique perspectives of MSP leaders who work directly with SMBs. Four of the 20 chapters are authored by CMIT Solutions franchise owners and leaders, reflecting the company’s deep expertise in guiding organizations through technology transformation. This includes insights from:
- Amy Justis, President, CMIT Solutions of Charleston
- Doug Bates, President, CMIT Solutions of Atlanta Southern Crescent
- Nathan Bates, Co-Owner, CMIT Solutions of Atlanta Northwest
- Nick LaRosa, Founding Partner, CMIT Solutions of St. Louis
- Dave Roberson, Founding Partner, CMIT Solutions of St. Louis

“When AI is implemented correctly, it can drastically transform operations, strengthen security and free up countless hours for teams to focus on what truly matters,” said Amy Justis, President at CMIT Solutions of Charleston. “However, many organizations have grappled with the noise surrounding AI, creating a demand for informative, actionable strategies and prompting my contribution to this book.”
