How we started and build up Monitor 24-7 and our ITIL Service Desk Software solution IncidentMonitor

Over a decade ago, two software designers from Canada working as consultants collaborated in the creation of a service desk application on a request from a customer. By partnering together, the two designed an outsourced service desk application which was then successfully implemented by the customer. Monitor 24-7 Inc was a fact. The first version of IncidentMonitor released!

Packaged Service Desk Software

At that time, the concept of 'packaged' service desk software was just starting to gain momentum in the business world. However, there was a significant deficiency in the market of help desk software. Enterprise customers with enterprise requirements had access to expensive, feature-rich applications. Small to medium sized businesses were limited to service desk systems with limited features and functionality.

The duo of designers, each with an unwavering belief in their application's architecture and the future marketability of the product, together with a strong belief in each other's abilities and expertise, decided to join forces by pooling resources and knowledge and formed a company called Monitor 24/7.

At the heart of the company resides a service desk product -- called IncidentMonitor -- a robust, scaleable, ITIL approved, multi-function, out-of-the-box solution for knowledgeable and savvy customers seeking reliability and functionality while still being financially feasible for a wide range of companies. Where back in 1999 the solution started to monitor incidents 24x7 the software solution quickly developed into a full service ITSM suite which nowadays support not only all ITIL processes but any process that requires management of questions and answers.

The duo also knew what they didn't want to offer: long, complicated implementations, frequent costly upgrades or loss of control in the development of their product. They also wanted to keep in close contact with their customers, so they could learn how the software was performing in the field, and implement improvements and changes quickly and directly.

What they found were customers who wanted the same thing.

As the company grew, and the product added functionality, the team at Monitor 24-7 kept pace with added technical, development, sales and marketing people -- nationally and internationally. But still, at the heart of the company, two designers who met and created IncidentMonitor, remain the core of the team.
