From support desk to our own platform
We started where most IT companies start: fixing things. Servers that fell over, mailboxes that wouldn't migrate, firewalls nobody had touched in years. Fifteen years of that teaches you what actually breaks in a small business — and it's rarely what the vendor brochures say.
Every client was being sold a stack of separate tools — one for MFA, one for DNS filtering, one for backup, one for remote access — each with its own console, its own invoice and its own gaps. So we built one.
GateCore runs on our own clients' machines first. Every feature exists because a real business needed it — and we support it ourselves, because we wrote it.
