History:

Quixotech Systems began in 1994 servicing the needs of Amiga users in Fairfield county, CT.  The name "Quixotech" came from the combination of quixotic (see above) and technology.  Given the state of the Amiga computer, this was a very appropriate name. 

Quixotech's current focus, developing IP based communications solutions for small business, began in 1997. Internet access hit the mainstream and small businesses and organizations were coming online. For many, this meant subscribing to an ISP and dialing up. They were signing up accounts for multiple employees, installing modems and individual phone lines (or passing a phone cord around) as more access was required.  Small businesses in southwestern CT based were looking for a different solution. The solution became the BlackWidow, which was initially released in 1998.  As customers embraced the BlackWidow, there was demand for standards-based, secure, IP collaboration (email, file sharing, web presence) designed for these organizations.  The Syrinx was released in 2000 in response to this demand.

Future:

Quixotech's solution set has improved and grown since then and will continue to do so. Our focus is providing quality, fairly priced, open solutions for small businesses and organizations with a passion that others reserve for large corporations. We partner with consultants and resellers  to deliver and support these solutions. If you would like more information on how to work with Quixotech Systems, please contact us.
