Ceratec spells solutions

Ceratec is a support oriented enterprise with customer world wide. We have experts in the field of network and data communication. Our history goes back over 20 years. Incorporated in 1980, Ceratec was founded with a strong focus on the ceramic industry. This however changed when we started developing computer programs. As demand for computers and software grew we reduced our presence in the brick machinery industry.

Even before IBM introduced the original PC, Ceratec was publishing and distributing software for Tandy Computers. Ceratec was the first to transmit color pictures over data lines for public access at a whopping 300 braud. In 1982, we bundled this feature in the commercial release of our COLORAMA BBS. It turned out to be an instant success. Bulletin Board Systems were the early versions of what we now know as Internet portals. The COLORAMA BBS included private and open messaging, forums, online shopping, news, downloads, online games and more. It was multi-language capable, highly customizable and fit in the 32K of what was then the Tandy Color Computer also known as COCO. At the height of the BBS era, over 300 COLORAMA systems were officially online world wide.

We also published a mailing list program for the COCO and distributed Colorcom/E, a terminal program essential to the success of the online community. Colorcom/E would allow downloading programs and saving them to tape or floppies.

A short time later, the IBM PC emerged and the desktop computer was ready to revolutionize the business scene. Expensive laser printers and costly hard drives were available for the PC. There was a great need to share these costly resources and Ceratec found itself in the middle of the early PC networking days. Novell was not advanced back then. Microsoft was nowhere to be seen. Companies like 10Net, Corvus and 3Com were the major players in the network software market.

Ceratec installed numerous networks in schools, mid-size businesses, government agencies and many small companies. We're still doing it today. We stay ahead of the competition with our value-added automation features and reliable service over many years. Many of our customers have been with us since the early days, 15 to 20 years ago.

Today our goal is to optimize the use of the computer for our customers. We do it online and onsite. We maintain networks or help you install one of our e-mail or remote products. We enjoy explaining things to you and nobody ever asks us a "stupid" question.

Our office is located near Elgin, Texas hidden behind acres of trees, away from traffic lights and rush hour. Nevertheless, we're still only a phone call away.
