History

Since becoming incorporated in August 1999, Posera has brought the latest developments in advanced technology to a growing number of clients and partners. Its first big contract named it as the official solution provider for Sharp POS. One year later, in 2000, the company announced strategic partnerships with Sharp Corporation, IBM, NCR Corporation, Epson, and Panasonic. This same year also saw the release of the Maitre’D Millennium Edition. In 2001, it expanded to Europe and South America by partnering with established resellers, such as Forth Cash Systems and IHT. The next version of Maitre’D—the 2002 edition with wireless handheld POS capability and the Maitre’D e-Global Enterprise solution—also arrived at the end of 2001. The following year saw expansion to Asia and Australia, while 2003 contained the official launch of Maitre'D’s first web-based solution, the DataBoard, and the Maitre'D online ordering interface, called “MealZone.” In 2004, Posera made the acquisition of its business partner, Forth Cash Systems, thus establiblishing an office in Glasgow, UK. In 2005, it acquired a reseller in Seattle, WA, Progressive Systems, along with releasing Maitre’D 2005. In January 2006, Microsoft named Posera a “Gold Certified Partner.” 2007 brought the company a ranking in Deloitte’s “Technology Fast 500 Program,” in addition to a new office opening in France.
