A global managed service provider founded on military discipline and one core value: relationships over deals. Mission critical IT, secured and managed since 2011.
Robert Hessel started Source 1 Solutions in a single Clearwater office. Today it is a global managed service provider with full time teams in 17 countries supporting businesses in 148 countries. The model is simple and hard to copy: treat a client’s uptime as a duty, not a line item.
That standard runs through everything we do. Level 1 engineers answer every call live, 24/7/365, and the discipline of military service carries into the complex, multi site, multi cloud environments where downtime is never an option. Source 1 Solutions is a certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business and Veteran Owned Business Enterprise.
Hessel is the author of Safe City: From Law Enforcement to Neighborhood Watches, a number one new release on Amazon in its category, and was named one of Industry Era’s Top 10 CEOs of 2020. His mandate has not changed: empower clients, protect what matters, and give back to the communities we serve.
From your help desk to your physical security perimeter, Source 1 Solutions manages every layer of your technology ecosystem, with specialized teams in four core practice areas.
Your IT environment is too complex to leave to chance. We take full ownership, monitoring, managing, and optimizing your infrastructure with Level 1 engineers who answer every call live, 24/7/365. Consulting, cybersecurity, compliance, cloud, networking, voice, data, desktop, and IT staffing under one accountable team.
Stadiums, hospitals, industrial plants, and government buildings demand wireless that performs without failure. We design, deploy, and maintain the RF systems that keep teams connected when it matters most, from site surveys and ERCES public safety coverage to two way radio.
Physical security and cybersecurity are no longer separate disciplines. We deliver one integrated approach: access control systems for business, CCTV and surveillance, smart site monitoring, and life safety, backed by 24/7 SOC monitoring and vulnerability management.
Supply chain disruption does not pause for your deployment schedule. We handle component sourcing end to end, identifying, sourcing, and procuring the exact parts your infrastructure needs, with quality assurance and compliance verification at every step.
Source 1 Solutions maintains the certifications that matter to regulated and public sector buyers, verified and current. SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 9001 and AS9120 cover security and quality. GSA Schedule and NaVOBA Veteran Business Enterprise clear federal procurement. NICET, iBwave, FCC, and Safer Buildings Coalition stand behind the RF and life safety work.
No business should juggle a dozen vendors to stay running. Source 1 Solutions delivers the full managed services stack under one accountable team, from the help desk and desktop to cybersecurity, cloud, networking, and the data center, with Level 1 engineers answering live, 24/7/365.
When first responders lose radio coverage inside a building, lives are on the line. Source 1 Solutions runs the full RF lifecycle, from site surveys and ERCES public safety design through installation, optimization, and ongoing maintenance of two way radio and in building systems.
