What Strickland Solutions does

Strickland Solutions is the technology and IT services division of The Strickland Group, Inc., a privately held Texas corporation headquartered at 4055 International Plaza in Fort Worth. Founded in the early 2000s as an outgrowth of The Strickland Group's reservoir engineering roots from the 1970s, the firm operates as a sales-led professional services organization with 11-50 employees, targeting enterprise and mid-market customers across financial services, healthcare, real estate, manufacturing/engineering, and insurance. Under CEO Sandra Bembenek, President Brad Nickle, EVP Evan Meade, and Partner/Senior Technical Architect Jonathan Dent, the company delivers consulting, enterprise content management, custom software development, managed IT services, VoIP, and financial services advisory.

The company's offering is anchored on three core partner platforms: M-Files (a metadata-driven, context-first document management system), Microsoft Office 365 (productivity, collaboration, Power Platform), and Kaseya (backup and disaster recovery). As a Premier M-Files Partner, Strickland provides deep implementation expertise including vault configuration and integration with ERP (Dynamics GP), CRM, Landworks, Aries, Excalibur, and ESRI GIS, plus custom workflow development. The differentiators include M-Files Aino AI fabric for automated metadata tagging and curated content for generative AI tools, M-Files Smart Metadata for ML-driven document classification, and M-Files Workspaces for context-first navigation. The firm has delivered more than 22 M-Files implementations in a single year (2020) and built custom web portals supporting 1,000 real estate agents and managing GE Capital's $3 billion oil and gas portfolio.

Strickland generates revenue through professional services engagements covering consulting, software implementation, custom development, and managed services. The Network Operations Group manages 750+ devices across 10 states, producing recurring managed-IT revenue. Go-to-market relies on direct consultative sales supplemented by vendor referrals from M-Files, Microsoft, and Kaseya. Education-oriented content marketing (blog topics in M-Files, AI, RPA, document management, cybersecurity, Microsoft Teams) supports top-of-funnel demand. No external institutional investment, public listing, or M&A activity is disclosed; the firm operates as a founder and management-controlled subsidiary under the broader Strickland Group umbrella.
