Sola Business Solutions is a managed IT services provider serving Oklahoma City businesses with on-site and remote support, focusing on network management, cybersecurity, and device maintenance for companies with 10 to 200 employees.
Sola operates as a managed service provider (MSP) rather than a break-fix repair shop. That distinction matters: instead of calling when something breaks, clients pay a monthly retainer for continuous monitoring, preventive maintenance, and prioritized support. The company handles internal networks, cloud infrastructure, user devices, and security configurations, positioning itself between in-house IT staff (which small businesses cannot afford) and one-off consultants who appear only during emergencies.
Sola's service tiers are organized by device count and support intensity. A baseline managed services plan typically covers up to 25 devices (computers, servers, printers) with eight-hour business-day response time and costs between $80 and $120 per device per month; verify current pricing with the company since MSP rates shift with service additions. Enhanced tiers add 24/7 monitoring, same-day response, and advanced security tools, running $130 to $180 per device monthly. Cybersecurity add-ons (email filtering, endpoint detection, backup solutions) cost $15 to $40 per user per month depending on complexity.
Project work outside the retainer—such as network redesign, server migration, or security audit—is billed at $150 to $200 per hour for senior technicians. First-time clients often begin with a network assessment, which some MSPs charge separately; confirm whether Sola includes this in an initial engagement or prices it independently.
Oklahoma City's IT landscape includes three main alternatives. Large firms like Huebner Technology Solutions attract enterprise clients with 500+ employees and deep integration capabilities; they excel at multi-site deployments but typically require contracts with minimums of $5,000 monthly and longer commitment periods. Smaller break-fix shops scattered across the metro (Geek Squad at Best Buy, local independents) charge $100 to $200 per visit with no ongoing relationship; they suit one-off repairs but leave businesses vulnerable to downtime and offer no proactive monitoring. Sola's middle ground serves the business that needs reliable, predictable IT support without enterprise-scale overhead. Choose Sola if you have between 15 and 150 devices, want to shift IT costs from unpredictable emergency spending to a monthly line item, and value rapid local response. Choose a break-fix provider if you have fewer than five devices and no sensitive data. Choose an enterprise firm if you operate multiple offices or require complex compliance (HIPAA, financial services).
Sola is built for manufacturers, medical practices, accounting firms, and professional services companies where network downtime costs money and data security matters. These industries typically have enough devices and complexity to justify managed services. Law offices, dental practices, and construction companies in Oklahoma City frequently fit this profile. Small solo operations (freelancers, single-office retailers with five computers) will find managed services overpriced relative to their risk; break-fix and cloud backup alone may suffice. Non-technical owners appreciate Sola's included helpdesk and device support; IT-forward companies may feel constrained by standardized processes.
Initial contact usually leads to a discovery call (30 to 45 minutes) where Sola's team documents your current setup, pain points, and business goals. If you move forward, an on-site assessment follows within one to two weeks. Technicians inventory devices, test network performance, review security posture, and identify risks. This assessment generates a proposal outlining recommended services, timelines, and costs. Implementation typically takes two to four weeks and includes device imaging, network configuration, monitoring tool deployment, and staff training. During this period, a dedicated account manager remains your primary contact.
Sola maintains an office in Oklahoma City's Midtown area with standard business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.); on-call support for critical issues is available through the help desk at a verified number. Street parking and a small lot serve walk-in consultations, though most client interaction happens remotely or on-site at your office. For after-hours emergencies, the on-call technician responds through a phone tree; response time depends on your service tier.
Sola's appeal rests on its ability to absorb the complexity of network management, freeing Oklahoma City business owners to focus on revenue rather than IT crises.
