There have been methods applied to track down those thieves, which are not always successful, and we are stuck with the same problem we began with. This same problem had ignited an idea of developing an end-point tracking system in the minds of the founders of Absolute Software Corporation. And today, the company is the only firm-ware-embedded visibility and control platform developer helping companies track and trace the lost products.

About the Company

Founded in 1993, Absolute Software Corporation is the first of its kind. The company develops software products to provide endpoint and zero-trust security to its clients.

The Back Story

Absolute Software Corporation was founded with a unique idea, i.e., to manage, track and secure computers despite their physical location. This was simply the result of a laptop theft that led to data loss as well. Leading to the solution of such a problem, Absolute Software started to work on a track-and-trace software solution, such that even despite the theft or any damage to the device it could be tracked by the owners.

This was only possible with some great partnerships, and at the beginning of the 2000s, Absolute Software started to build ties with device manufacturers, such that the Absolute software was embedded into those devices on the BIOS level. This way, even if the thief wanted to remove the tracking software, he could not find it in the first place.

In the year 2000, Absolute Software went public on Toronto Stock Exchange. The company also started to expand overseas, as it opened its first European in Newbury in 2006. Further expansion included the establishment of offices in the UK, Austin, Malaysia, etc. Absolute Software then partnered with Microsoft and achieved the gold certification as a partner from the latter in the Microsoft Partner Ecosystem.
