Tim Yoder, the President and CIO formed a technology consulting company in 1993. He focused originally on Microsoft Access database development for small businesses in the community and ran the business from his home as Yoder’s Computer Solutions.In 1996 he met Russ Rupp, Vice President and CFO, as they both are professors at Goshen College.

In 1998 they combined their information technology management experience in the automotive supplier industry with accounting management experience in the recreational vehicle and public accounting industries and began working together on various projects under the business name of Custom Business Solutions (CBSI). It soon became quite clear that this combination of skills coupled with teaching and training skills filled a market niche in this community.

It was also Goshen College which led Tim and Russ through the “four year interview process” to find their third partner, Ryan Britsch, COO, who joined the company in 2003. Ryan brought experience in information technology management and manufacturing systems. His addition to the company added stability to the day-to-day operations and to project management allowing the company to continue to grow.

In 2001, the business name was changed to Solution Source to represent the focus of the company—to provide effective solutions to businesses looking to solve their technology pain points.The focus was not just on developing custom solutions, but on creating personalized solutions. Learning the goals and objectives of the client, then choosing a software solution that fit their needs, became the business model for Solution Source.

Solution Source continues to be a growing company of business professionals who not only understand technology, but also make technology work for any size business. The group currently has five additional employees on staff.
