Short History
Copyleft Solutions was started in 1999 and was incorporated in 2000. We managed to enjoy about one year of the Dot Com bubble before it burst, and after this we changed focus from development to system administration. Over time we built up again the development department, but system administration has remained in our DNA and now 20 years later it represents a significant part of our business.
In 2004 we stated an office in Mexico, and in 2012 an office in the Philippines. Underway, we have also been joined by experts and specialists from around the world, working for us from places like Serbia, India and Argentina.
Our focus on design as a major part of our business started in 2014, and we quickly discovered how much designers could contribute to making better systems and services. Design is now as important for us as development and system administration, and we are still growing our design department.
In 2017 we entered the telephony market at the operator level in Norway, and founded Telefactory AS. Here we work with connecting advanced telephony to business systems, apps and the web.
In 2021 we look back on a difficult year of COVID-19 and are looking forward to return to our offices and engange with our customers again!
