About Cadent Solutions

Our Story

IT Consulting has been our core foundation since 2017. Initially founded as In the Cloud Consulting Services, the transition to Cadent Solutions has allowed us to create a company that encompasses over 35 years of experience in the field of IT Operations, specializing in SaaS, Cloud, Hybrid, and on-premises solutions management. Over the past several years we have transformed into being hyper-focused (more like obsessed!) on IT Procedure Management. Given that technology is changing at lightening speed, companies need to not only have solid processes in place, but must also have agility built-in for continuous improvement that provides the ability to transform the business, rapidly adapt to changes, and safeguard the integrity of your company and customers.

Our team is comprised of years of leadership experience in all facets of the business, including IT & Business Operations, Business Strategy Management, Software Development, Technical Design, Architecture & Solutioning, Organization Change Management, Marketing/Communications, and Human Resources. We have come together with our collective passion for creating the best experience for our customers.
