Montreal, April 15, 2010 - Kezber is proud to announce that it has won the contract to develop the new corporate website for Muse Entertainment.

January 28th, 2010 - Kezber has recently implemented a new customer service and support tool from Quest software. The PacketTrap network management software will allow remote monitoring and management of our customer's networks, devices, and traffic.

The tool is also a very powerful diagnostic system allowing us to truly have insight into a client’s network performance. Frequently a single user or group of users using YouTube, downloading torrents or other high-bandwidth websites can bring business critical applications to a halt. Kezber will now be able to identify the issue as well as the user and prevent any further interruptions.

Over the coming months Kezber plans to implement this new system throughout all of its existing clients, dramatically increasing the level of responsiveness and support. Completion of the application rollout is targeted for Q3, 2010.

This new managed service platform will allow Kezber to remain a leader in the IT services business in the province of Quebec.
