What Solomon Cloud Solutions does

Solomon Cloud Solutions (legal entity: Plumbline Solutions, Inc.) is a private software engineering and professional services firm headquartered at 1219 West Main Cross Street, Suite 203, Findlay, Ohio, with 101-250 employees. Founded in 1980 as TLB, Inc. (The Lord's Business) by Gary Harpst, Jack Ridge, and Vernon Strong, the company originated the Solomon accounting product line that became Microsoft Dynamics SL after successive acquisitions by Great Plains Software (2000) and Microsoft (2001) and Microsoft's 2004 outsourcing of Solomon development and support to the newly created Plumbline Solutions. The firm rebranded as Solomon Cloud Solutions on June 2, 2015 and operates as "The Partners' Partner," selling development resources, technical support, consulting, training, and proprietary ISV add-ons to Microsoft Dynamics SL channel partners and end customers.

The product portfolio centers on Microsoft Dynamics SL (Solomon) ERP, augmented by a catalog of proprietary ISV add-on modules including All-In-One Project Invoice, Project Invoice Posting Selection, Mobile Time and Expense (delivered via affiliated Beyond Software), Salesforce Integration, Account Central, Audit Utility, Alerts and Notifications, Two-Factor Authentication (via Duo), Web Apps ROI Scheduler, Custom Web Apps Reports, and Transaction Import Automation. The underlying technology stack is Microsoft-centric - Visual Basic, .NET, C#, SQL, ASP.NET, HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery Mobile - coupled with an integration layer spanning 25+ third-party solutions covering BI (Solver, CALUMO, PowerAnalytics, XLstatements), document management (ImageLink, MetaViewer), payments (EBizCharge, Catalina Technology), field service (FieldConnect), inventory (WithoutWire), banking (SK Global eBanking), and procurement (ReQlogic).

The business model is a hybrid of professional services (custom development, upgrades, technical support, training, systems integration, project management, documentation, and testing) and one-time licensing for proprietary ISV modules. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadence and is not publicly disclosed; sales run through direct phone/email engagement, channel partner relationships, a password-protected partner portal, and content marketing (training videos, technical blog, user guides). Affiliated entities under common founder ownership include Beyond Software (professional services automation), Lead First (formerly Six Disciplines, performance management), and a strategic investment in SK Global Software (electronic banking). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm has installed 60,000+ historical systems between 1980 and 2000 and retains a niche, mature installed base anchored by team-wide Dynamics expertise averaging 20+ years per employee.
