AppSolute Consulting Group

AppSolute Consulting Group is a managed services provider (MSP) and IT consulting firm, primarily serving small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) in the New York Tri-State area. The company was founded in August 1997 by Bruce Baron and David Hoffman. Baron, a Certified Public Accountant, intended to combine his accounting skills with technology to help clients achieve their business goals.

The firm offers a range of IT services, including managed IT, co-managed IT services, network monitoring, data security, and cybersecurity. It also specializes in implementing and supporting Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, partnering with software vendors like Sage and Acumatica to offer solutions such as Sage 100cloud, Sage 300, and Acumatica's cloud ERP. AppSolute's business model is based on providing personalized, 'white-glove' service, often with a physical presence at client worksites, distinguishing itself from other vendors. Revenue is generated through flat monthly rates for managed services and project-based fees for consulting and implementation.

In August 2025, Net at Work, a larger technology advisory firm, acquired AppSolute Consulting Group. The acquisition included AppSolute's managed services practice and its Sage and Acumatica client base. As part of the transition, co-founders Bruce Baron and David Hoffman joined Net at Work, with Baron taking the role of Director of SMB Solutions to oversee the Sage 100 and Sage 300 practice. The merger was intended to provide AppSolute's clients with access to a broader range of resources and solutions while maintaining the same level of personalized service.
