Solution Specialties

Solution Specialties, Inc. is an Illinois-based Corporation that was formed to meet the case management needs of justice agencies. We are located in the Chicago metropolitan area and have been working exclusively with justice-related agencies since the beginning. We are the largest provider of case management software in the State of Illinois, where our business began, serving more of the population than all other commercial systems combined.
But our experience and expertise extends beyond the borders of Illinois. Tracker is used by agencies from coast-to-coast, in a wide variety of programs and settings. Solution Specialties Inc. has the necessary expertise in all three areas. Our president and founder has undergraduate and graduate degrees in the behavioral sciences. He has worked in corrections, community corrections, forensic mental health, juvenile detention, probation and court services, and residential treatment. He has also worked at positions from entry level to the director of a large probation and court services agency. He learned to program computers as an undergraduate, where the focus was researching and evaluating treatment strategies. Statistical analysis was essential to this work, and computers were a part of the training.
Tracker was originally created to perform grant-related outcome-based research for a large court services agency, but it had to fit seamlessly into the daily operations without creating additional work for the staff. When Tracker did so successfully, and even reduced staff workloads, other agencies wanted to use it for their own operations. This was the beginning of Solution Specialties Inc.
