Company Information
Maintenance Connection Canada
OVERVIEW
Implementing a new software system should never be taken lightly. Experience and knowledge are all-important ingredients that will help to ensure the success of the deployment. Maintenance Connection Canada’s software including the Maintenance Connection Everywhere family of products and skilled personnel possess those traits.
Maintenance Connection Canada heritage stretches back to the beginning of the PC revolution. In 1982, the president was involved in founding and developing enterprise class accounting and billing PC software for use in small and medium sized municipalities. As the company grew, it expanded the offerings to include payroll, maintenance, utility billing and GIS, while developing a large number of international technical and business contacts. In 1996, this company was sold to focus on developing commercial programming tools, advanced transactional Internet projects, as well as providing general development consulting in Canada, Switzerland, Germany and the USA.
In 2003 the business changed focus with the securing of the Canadian rights to Maintenance Connection© asset/work management software. Soon after the Canadian rights were acquired, Maintenance Connection Canada expanded the capabilities of the Maintenance Connection© system through the development of mobile workforce software for Maintenance Connection software.
Along with the marketing, sales and support, Maintenance Connection Canada is a key development partner for Maintenance Connection with an expanded range of add-ons that are deployed by customers world wide.
Our roots are and remain in Canada, but we have long term full time development, marketing and support people, offices and connections on our team in the USA, Canada, India, Philippines and Costa Rica.
