Who we are


Solution Innovators was founded in 1999 by Jay van Achterberg. At that time Jay had been in the computer industry for 14 years doing software development, systems administration and IT team management for companies that included Pratt & Whitney, IBM and Apple. In all of these organizations, Jay witnessed how large organizations were managing their computers.

Having grown up in a family that ran a small business, Jay was intrigued by the challenge of applying these enterprise-class methods to small and mid-size businesses to make their computing experience more reliable at a price point that they could afford. He found that most small businesses rely on technologies and practices that stem from how people manage computers at home. Unfortunately, home-user priorities like "cheap" and "fun" largely contradict the best interest of business where solid value principally come from utility and reliability. Jay began to bring these enterprise principles of utility and reliability to small and mid-size businesses and found they became more productive, gained happier employees, and even saved money.
