Source 1 Solutions specializes in delivering mission-critical managed IT services to some of the largest brands, corporations, and organizations in the world.
Source 1 Solutions was founded in 2011 in Clearwater, Florida, by Robert Hessel, a fourth-generation military veteran who served in the U.S. Navy. The discipline came from the service. The mission came from a conviction that enterprise IT support should be built on honesty, accountability and relationships that outlast any single contract.
“With a core value of relationships over deals, Source 1 Solutions has built its reputation on honesty and integrity among customers, employees and partners since its inception.”
At the heart of that culture is an “All In” philosophy and a commitment to investing in people, supporting one another and taking shared ownership of the work. Employees are empowered to grow, contribute and bring their best to their teams, their clients and the communities Source 1 serves. That commitment has helped Source 1 earn repeated recognition as one of the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s Best Places to Work.
The results extend well beyond the workplace. Source 1 has been named to the prestigious Channel Futures MSP 501 for five consecutive years, climbing to No. 287 in 2026, while supporting organizations in more than 148 countries.
Today, Source 1 Solutions is a certified Veteran Business Enterprise with NaVOBA and an award-winning multinational MSP serving organizations up to the Fortune 500. And 15 years after its founding, the company continues to grow around the same principle it started with: relationships over deals, and people who are All In.
