What Solutions Partners does

Solutions Partners, Inc. is a privately held professional services firm founded in 2001 and headquartered at 464 Monterey Avenue, Los Gatos, California. The firm operates four branded service divisions under a single corporate umbrella: ERP SPI (Oracle-certified ERP implementations and integration), Cloud SPI (cloud-based ERP and resource-management deployment, with certified partnerships across Oracle, Salesforce, Xactly, and Kenandy), HR SPI (HR consulting, executive search, interim staffing, and an HR Help Desk), and Insight SPI (business intelligence and data analytics). Its stated go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to mid-sized and large organizations in Silicon Valley and the greater Bay Area, with named clients including Microsoft, Salesforce, LinkedIn, Twitter, DocuSign, AMEX, Equinix, Symantec, Square, SunPower, and British Gas.

The underlying technology stack is built around third-party enterprise platforms rather than proprietary IP: Oracle Applications (ERP, CRM, SCM), Salesforce CRM and Analytics Clouds, Xactly sales-performance management, and Kenandy's Salesforce-native ERP. Solutions Partners' contribution is implementation, configuration, integration, and managed services layered on top, plus the firm's own four practice brands and two standalone websites (hrspi.com and insightspi.com) for HR and BI. There are no disclosed APIs, SDKs, or proprietary software products; the differentiators are certifications, senior practitioner expertise, and a relationship-driven consulting culture.

Revenue is generated through quote-based professional services engagements (implementation and consulting) plus ongoing managed-services support and training, typically structured as multi-year contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is positioned as "fair price / great value." The firm is founder-led by Jack Cartmell (CEO), Donna DeGrande (Managing Partner of HR SPI), and Don Gootee (Managing Partner of CloudSPI), with 11-50 employees and no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding. Customer acquisition relies on direct outreach, a LinkedIn company page, and a content/blog presence, with the company explicitly limiting its operating geography to Silicon Valley and the greater Bay Area.
