History[edit]
ConnectWise was founded in 1982 in Tampa, Florida, by brothers Arnie and David Bellini to implement and service local computer networks for businesses in the Tampa Bay area.[5] It was formally known as Micro Information Solutions, Inc. and changed its name to ConnectWise, Inc. in 1999.[6]
The Bellini brothers began developing their professional services automation (PSA) software in 1987.[5] The goal was to integrate several programs the company used for its business.[7] Originally named ConnectWise, the solution was renamed to ConnectWise Manage in 2016.[8]
In 2010, ConnectWise made an investment in LabTech Software, a remote monitoring and management (RMM) software provider.[9] Additional investments were made in Quosal, a quoting and proposal software firm, in 2011, and in ScreenConnect, a remote control and remote access software solution, in 2014.[7]
ConnectWise combined its solutions and related businesses into a single company and brand in 2016. At that time, LabTech was renamed ConnectWise Automate, Quosal was renamed ConnectWise Sell, and ScreenConnect was renamed ConnectWise Control.[8]
ConnectWise formalized its international presence by opening a European headquarters office in London in 2015.[10]
In 2016, the company launched ConnectWise CloudConsole, a software solution that gives IT solution providers and MSPs the ability to manage, monitor and bill for cloud services. It originally was used to manage Microsoft Office 365 but expanded in 2017 to include management of Microsoft Azure.[11]
Also announced in November 2017 was ConnectWise Unite with Cisco, a cloud-based solution to allow users to manage, monitor and bill for Cisco Spark, Meraki, Cisco Umbrella and Stealthwatch Cloud from a single program.[12]
