Our Timeline
1998
Simple Network Solutions (SNS) was founded by Chris and Brian in a garage, driven by a shared passion for technology and a vision to simplify IT for small businesses.
SNS took a major step forward by becoming an official Microsoft Partner. This partnership laid the foundation for future innovations and deeper integration with Microsoft technologies.

SNS merged with Eastridge Technologies to form two specialized teams: one focused on app development and the other on managed IT services. This move allowed the company to scale its offerings and better serve a growing client base with tailored solutions.

After years of collaboration, Brian, Chris, and Josh branched off to form Solace IT Solutions. Their goal: to build a modern IT company focused on proactive support and cloud-first strategies.

Solace worked closely with Microsoft to help shape and launch Microsoft 365 Business, bringing enterprise-grade tools to small and mid-sized businesses. Solace was featured by Microsoft for its work with Garner Foods, showcasing how the team helped transform operations through smart cloud adoption.
