About Case Centre Pro Help Desk Software

Our reactive maintenance help desk software came about from a custom in house web portal that we have to our hosting clients.  Someone one day asked if we could have that, and you host it for us.  After a little deliberation, and seeing what was on the market, we decided to launch Case Centre Pro as a low cost help desk software and help desk solutions knowledge base tool.  The rest is history are they say.

About our Software and our Infrastructure

Our software, providing your service, is run on a number of our own large Linux servers, operating in what is known as a high availability cluster, in different places around the globe, providing parallel functionality and redundant capability in case of failure.  Both the application and your data is located in all of our server locations as well as an off-site version kept elsewhere.

In order to keep your application online 24/7, we opted to replicate all functionality in multiple locations using multiple Internet service providers.  Therefore, our clustered Linux servers are currently located in:-
