It grew from a school assignment: develop a solution from start to finish to improve lives through technology. Co-founders, Julien Mathis and Romain Le Merlus, fans of the open source IT monitoring tool Nagios, were impressed by the potential offered but discouraged by its complexity. To improve its capability, they developed a web interface called Oreon making IT monitoring under Nagios smooth and easy.

The interface was quickly adopted by the international open source community and its success led to the creation of its own open-source software, named Centreon. While the 20,000 active members of the open-source community keep improving the “open core”, it has allowed the Centreon R&D team to focus on the technical and business-oriented options that make Centreon so special.

With more than 15 years of experience, Centreon has developed a unique expertise in IT monitoring. Its reputation of reliability has conquered more than 400 professional customers all over the world with major accounts listed in the Fortune Global 500.
