In 1984 the people who formed Maintenance Connection Canada, Cascadia CMMS and ITIQPro were gaining extensive experience with Municipal Accounting and Municipal GIS systems, our current president and owner managed the teams that built "Auto-Administrator Int'l Inc." a widely used municipal Accounting package in the 1980's.
In 1987 and "MapEasy" a municipal Accounting package in 1987 that was a competitor to products like ARC/INFO and MapInfo at the time. MapEasy was best known for its ability to handle projections in the far North of Canada where competitors at the time would draw a square skewed as a trapezoid. Other products of that day were designed to function and display properly only further south, most notably in the contiguous US states. Mr. Horwood then sold the company around 1996.
2003 - We created our first CMMS product and later in the year introduced the first MRO add on product (MC Mobile it was called at the time)
2004 - The lead developer of our current GIS products joined our team in 2004.
2006 - Our first CMMS GIS. The MCC GIS 2006 product was an add-in to the MRO product. It coordinated between the MRO CMMS and Esri ArcGIS, running map tooling in an IFRAME of MRO. In those days, the computing power and mobile data speeds and volumes were not sufficient to be realistic for mobile devices, so it was not in MCe at that time.
2016 - Many minor changes year over year, our Second major version ran on MRO and MCe and was also our first mobile version. It continued to focus on ArcGIS and had more features for assigning, collecting data and viewing assets geographically.
2024 - After many minor changes year over year, our third major version brought in the ability to connect to data sources other than ESRI ArcGIS, while enhancing incrementally the capabilities when connected to ArcGIS data sources.
