Our Company History
Mark and Pat Soltys are the owners and founders of the company. The initial
business began when friends and acquaintances began asking for assistance in business
decisions and technology. Using their talents, skills and insight, they established their
first business in Houston, TX, called MarPat Enterprises in 1986.As time and business
interests evolved other businesses were started including Forget-Me-Not Floral and P.S.
Just for You. In 1993, MarPat Enterprises became
MARPAT, Inc. with Pat's
efforts devoted full time to the growth of a business development company focusing on real
estate companies.
It was not long before the demand for technological solutions brought the
company to a position of industry leadership with the largest selection of real estate
software in the nation. As the business interests were growing quickly and diversifying,
the corporation was renamed Soltys, Inc. d.b.a.
MARPAT, Inc. in 1996.
This allowed Soltys, Inc. the opportunity to seek a business relationship that would allow
expansion of the business to include training and entry into other vertical markets as
well as expanded staffing.
In April 1997, Soltys, Inc. and Alliance Management Corporation came to
agreement in which the software and consulting business interests of Soltys, Inc. and the
d.b.a. of MARPAT, Inc. were brought together with the training and
consulting business of Alliance Management Corporation to form
MARPAT - ALLIANCE,
Incorporated d.b.a. MARPAT, Inc.
August 29, 1998, the separation of shared interests was completed. This
allowed Soltys, Inc. to focus on consulting services and publications and
MARPAT
- ALLIANCE, Inc. to focus on application training and limited software sales.
The name MARPAT - Alliance was changed to reflect the emphasis on training
to The Computer Training Depot.
The consulting work of Soltys Inc over the next few years was
expanded to include large companies including many Fortune 500 and
Global 1000 clients, some of the largest real estate companies in the
nation and most of the real estate franchisors. Published work
also expanded greatly with featured articles in a number of magazines.
The operational audit process was refined and Business Health Partners
established.
Over time the principals of Soltys, Inc have served many executive
roles in companies providing leadership, resources and access to the
talent, skills and knowledge base the company has built. Our work
with companies will develop and expand to meet the needs of our
clientele. |
