IT Solutions Group

What IT Solutions Group does

MAPSYS Inc., doing business as MAPSYS and referenced in this dataset as IT Solutions Group, is a privately held IT solution provider incorporated in Ohio and headquartered at 555 Edgar Waldo Way, Suite 400, Columbus. Founded in 1984 and operating for over 40 years, the company delivers a multi-stack services and channel partner portfolio to mid-to-large private-sector enterprises and federal, state, and local government agencies across North America. Named case-study customers include the Ohio Public Defender, Franklin County Public Defender, and Capital Drug, with continued multi-year engagements cited as evidence of contract stickiness.

The company's core technology and product architecture is anchored in IBM infrastructure. It resells and implements IBM Power Systems (including the Power 11 generation), Fusion Storage (an enterprise-grade flash storage solution purpose-built for virtualization and AI workloads on IBM infrastructure), and AI with Watson X (IBM's generative AI and LLM platform for training, tuning, and deploying models across cloud and on-premises environments). Proprietary technology is largely IBM-channel-delivered rather than homegrown: the only branded MAPSYS-owned products surfaced are Fusion Storage and the Quest Case Management sub-brand acquired via Gottlieb & Wertz and GKT Consulting in January 2026. The broader portfolio also wraps infrastructure solutions, managed services across Infrastructure/Applications/End-Point/Security, application development, cloud/hybrid-cloud solutions, IT consulting, and IT staffing & recruiting.

The business model operates as an enterprise value-added reseller and channel partner. Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring managed-services contracts (subscription), IT staffing and recruiting (professional services), software and technology resale including IBM hardware and software (predominantly one-time/license), and custom application development (professional services). All pricing is quote-based, tailored per engagement, with stated annual billing cadence. GTM combines direct enterprise field sales (website quote requests, phone contact at (614) 224-5193, customer/tech login portals) with a channel partner motion as IBM, Microsoft, Red Hat, VMware, Lenovo, HCL, ConnectWise, HelpSystems, Veeam, SentinelOne, Flashstor, and Cybernetics resellers. The company is actively acquiring tuck-in targets (Gottlieb & Wertz and GKT Consulting in January 2026) to deepen the public-sector software vertical, suggesting an M&A-augmented growth posture despite undisclosed revenue.
