What we do
One partner for every layer of your technology.
From the help desk to the boardroom, we run IT as a single, accountable system, not a stack of disconnected vendors.
Built on a different standard
From the radar room to your server room.
Troy Solis started his career as a radar and radio electronics technician in the U.S. Navy, working on systems where failure was not an option. After eight years of service, he moved into the medical device industry, advancing from R&D electronics into IT leadership.
In 2009 he founded SOL-I.S. on a simple idea: earn trust first, protect what matters, and always show up. Seventeen years later, that discipline still defines how we work, and it is why clients stay with us for a decade or more.
"I'll find a way, or make one."
The Peary doctrine. Our standard since 2009.

"We have been a satisfied client since 2014. We consider them our virtual I.T. department. We appreciate their 24/7 availability and would recommend SOL-I.S. to any business unable to justify the cost of a full-time I.T. department."
Debra
Olson Carriers, Inc.
"The SOL-I.S. team has handled Medafor’s IT, computer and telephone needs for approximately 14 years. We couldn’t bring in-house the quality of service and support we get for the cost. They also provide pro-active, strategic thinking for our future technology needs."
Jon, C.F.O.
Medafor, Inc.
"ValenTx has been a customer since 2014 and highly recommends SOL-I.S. as a virtual I.T. department. From a cost perspective, we get significantly more responsiveness at a very reasonable and predictable monthly cost."
