This week on Clear Lake Connections Podcast presented by UTMB Health: Meet Brad Bricker, owner of CMITSolutions

In this week’s episode, we meet Brad Bricker, owner of CMITSolutions that is an IT company targeting small and mid-size businesses. CMIT Solutions is a franchise that is locally owned but still connected to others nationwide.  Brad started playing with computers and IT back in high school. Working with small businesses is his favorite because he works directly with the owners. Franchising was the way to give him control of his time. Common needs of small businesses include poor configurations of their networks and not having enough security checks. Processing credit cards needsto have the best security systems in place. Detering ransom attacks is important to all companies, especially small businesses. If you have sensitive data, you are a target to be vandalized.  Medical practices are a major industry that gets hit by digital criminals. Brad can help manage different levels of security and storage for your type of business.  Marketing advice from Brad is to promote your business on Facebook and LinkedIn, but he believes that the Clear Lake Area Chamber has given him the most opportunities to build relationships with small business owners, to build his business.
