Founded in 2008 by Director David Homer, CENTREL Solutions was built to simplify workflows for IT professionals. As a consultant and technical project manager, David saw first-hand how challenging it was to manage multiple servers at once. Recognizing the need for a better solution, he developed CENTREL’s flagship tool, XIA Configuration. This platform allows organizations of any size to monitor every aspect of their IT infrastructure in one place. In 2016, Howard Simpson joined as CTO, helping evolve the software into the robust solution it is today.
Community-driven innovation Educational institutions, government bodies, and enterprises worldwide rely on CENTREL’s tools. But the development doesn’t stop there. Customer feedback is central in shaping our software. We believe in flexibility. Our platform gives you complete access to your data, with the freedom to modify and customize it as needed. At CENTREL, we don’t lock companies into rigid systems—we empower them to adapt, code, and fine-tune solutions to meet their unique needs.
