Who we are

We like to think of ourselves as more than just another IT company.

Sure, we are a Managed IT Services provider with a focus on helping businesses to exceed their goals with the help of technology. And of course that includes exceptional IT support.

But who we are is so much more than what we do.

We're Human Not Robots

We have this saying at SOLID – We’re human, not robots. Our humans and yours are the heart of our business, and we never compromise when it comes to human values. Being human in a digital world is what motivates us every day, which is why we love to see the IT solutions and IT services that we provide helping companies to be more, do more and make more. We believe in elevating human connection to make a difference in people’s lives, and we find the right technologies to help them do just that.

Why We Do It

Technology can be overwhelming.

It’s constantly advancing and developing, and ensuring that your company is adopting the right solutions to meet your evolving goals and grow your business is an unending challenge, particularly for SMEs who have small IT teams, or no internal IT team at all, to manage their technology needs.

It's rare that people feel IT is adding value to their lives.

Technology should be helping your humans to work in more effective ways, to be productive, to connect to each other, to collaborate on projects. Instead, so many businesses find that their relationship with IT is all about troubleshooting and fixing problem after problem.

So we started Solid Systems.

When we started back in 2003, we saw the struggle that businesses were going through, all because they didn’t understand the technologies that they were using, and saw them more as obstacles to growth than contributing towards it. We knew that our knowledge and expertise could be helping companies around the world, not just to put tech in place, but to enhance their lives, seeing them focus their efforts on core projects instead of servers and hard drives, and giving them more time to do the things they loved with the people that meant the most to them.

This is what IT is about for us.

It’s about evolving human connection to make a difference in people’s lives, and using the technology at our fingertips to do just that. It’s about the rituals that we put in place to help us build a more human-centric work environment. It’s about creating a company culture that is all about being more, doing more, and making more with technology.

We love that our humans connect to our values, and we love that the companies that work with us see the value in our IT solutions every day. And we cannot wait to show more companies that value.

Don't take our word for it!

Using Solid Systems has been a game-changer for us. Since implementing their solutions, productivity and efficiency have been through the roof.
