We're locally built to support Kentucky businesses.

Over a twenty-year career in technology, I have done everything from building websites and running hosting companies to working in senior systems engineering and architecture roles supporting organizations like the U.S. Census Bureau, FINRA, and 3M Health.

The work grew to include large federal and enterprise environments, thousands of servers, cloud infrastructure, automation, and systems supporting critical operations. These were places where reliability, security, and careful planning were not special features. They were basic expectations.

I have also run local service businesses of my own, so I understand both sides of the equation. I know what it takes to build dependable systems, but I also know what it feels like to be the owner answering the phone, doing the work, keeping up with customers, and trying to hold everything together.

The scale may be different, but the lesson is the same:

Good systems keep important things from getting lost.

Don’t just take my word for it.

Some kind words from folks I worked alongside over twenty years in tech. The kind of people who had to live with my work after it shipped.

"…based on real-world hands-on experience instead of just PR speak and numbers."

Richard DeHaven

Senior Cloud Architect

"Dan communicates clearly and works well with others, demonstrating patience and an even demeanor even in high pressure situations… I cannot recommend Dan highly enough."

Emery Ford

Technology Leader

"Dan is phenomenal! I would recruit Dan to my team again in a heartbeat. Dan is customer and results oriented. He sticks to complex tasks and gets them done."

Mark Scrimshire

Chief Interoperability and Innovation Officer

Why should a local business have to settle for less?

Why should a local contractor, shop, or service business have to settle for disconnected tools and half-finished solutions when larger organizations have experienced people making sure everything works together?

The answer used to be cost. That level of experience and support once required a technical department and a payroll most small businesses could never justify.

That has changed.

The right tools, thoughtful automation, and experienced oversight can now bring that same discipline to an owner-led business, without the corporate complexity, giant payroll, or vendor lock-in.

That is why I started Old Salem Solutions.

How the work moves forward.

Good systems start with a clear decision, not a pile of tools. The process keeps the work practical, visible, and in your control.

Complete Visibility.

You know what is being fixed, why it matters, and what changed when the work is done.

  1. 01 Listen

    Understand what is getting in the way

    We start with how your business actually works: how calls come in, where leads get missed, what tools you already use, and what is costing time or trust.

  2. 02 Plan

    Sort the fix into practical work

    You get a clear recommendation for what to repair first, what can wait, and how the website, Google profile, follow-up, or systems should connect.

  3. 03 Approve

    Review the plan before work begins

    We talk through the tradeoffs in plain English. You approve the direction, priorities, and any account changes before anything important moves.

  4. 04 Build

    Implement it and keep it working

    Old Salem builds the pieces, tests the handoffs, explains what changed, and stays involved through the Advantage Plan as the system improves.

Rooted in London, KY. Built for small businesses.

Old Salem works with the kinds of businesses that keep this region moving: contractors, local shops, service companies, restaurants, professional offices, and family businesses where reputation still matters.

We're not a national agency with a local landing page. We live here, our kids go to school here, and we share the same roads and work with the same businesses you do.

How can we help?

The old website, lost leads, the email headache, the phone problem, the spreadsheet nobody trusts, or the AI idea you are not sure about.
