History
Soliton Incorporated was formed in 1993 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with some of the former employees of I. P. Sharp Associates. The business was in some ways a continuation of I. P.

Reuters was primarily interested in Sharp's historical databases, and allowed some portions of the business to buy themselves out from Reuters. The company started with Clarke Bruce as its president.
