It's part of the advertising. For example, I used to call myself a "web developer." However, by saying "web" it locked me out of a lot of intranet projects. Sure people who know, know that an intranet uses pretty much the same technologies as a web site, but the people who are in charge hear "web" and think we can't do it.
"Business Solutions" is not an employee title, it's a department title, IMHO.
It also gives the people clout when pursuing a client. They think "oh, you sent the 'business solutions manager' to talk with me, not just some account executive."
If it ain't Adobe, Apple, M$, etc., how impressive is such a title anyway?
Not sure what you mean. Are you saying if the employee isn't working for one of those companies, the title doesn't matter? Or if the client isn't one of those it doesn't matter?
