THE STORY<\/b><\/p>\n

A partnership four decades in the making<\/b><\/h2>\n

In the world of IT managed services, it is rare to find a partnership built on more than four decades of shared history. For John and Elizabeth Boyette, owners of<\/span> CMIT Solutions of Greenville, South Carolina<\/span><\/a>, their business isn’t just a company, it’s an extension of a lifelong bond that began back in high school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fresh off celebrating their 40th high school reunion and marking 12 years as franchise owners, this husband-and-wife team has created a powerhouse local MSP by combining two completely different, yet perfectly complementary, skill sets. Elizabeth, an environmental engineer by training, brings an incredible background in rigorous project management and a natural, deep curiosity the kind that asks a client three more questions than anyone else would. John is the architectural mastermind, deeply well-versed in complex tech infrastructure,<\/span> network management<\/span><\/a>, and long-range<\/span> IT strategy and guidance<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, they have navigated incredible personal trials, massive industry shifts\u00a0 from break-fix computing to cloud, and now to AI and the daily adventure of building a thriving<\/span> business managed IT services practice in Greenville<\/span><\/a> that punches far above its weight.<\/span><\/p>\n
