About Us

Hi, my name is Campbell Green, thank you for checking us out. I am the founder of the service way back in 2012 – officially formed as a New Zealand registered company, ‘control c limited’, in August 2014.

Our Company

Our initial pilot scheme started way back in 2013, with a CA onboard as our early adopter and advocate. Myself and Kent Dapiere are directors and major shareholders of the company, our cornerstone shareholder being Alliott NZ Ltd with Greg and Vanessa as part of Control-C’s board.

Our Developers

Our developers consist of a full time lead developer, with backup support of 14 developers reporting to the lead.

Our Infrastructure

Our infrastructure is managed by Caduceus Systems Limited and we operate out of their primary data centre in Wellington, with fail over into Auckland. Caduceus have been a long time partner of Control-C and prior business, whom currently provide us with exemplary technology services, support and infrastructure.

Our Security

We offer 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) for our users to login to our service, all data is encrypted during transit from Xero to us, from us to you, plus at rest on our Microsoft stack using TDE (Transparent Data Encryption). All attachments are stored encrypted.

Your Data

We offer the ability to domicile a copy of your backed up data (Control-C acting as a proxy for you, to Xero) either through DropBox, GoogleDrive, OneDrive and Box. We also offer the ability to bypass these third party cloud storage providers by using our own Windows agent that sits on your local infrastructure that automatically replicates all the backups from our servers to yours if required. We are also in the process of testing our service hosted out of a major datacentre in Australia, providing businesses in Australia data sovereignty of the data held by us. We expect this to be available over the coming months and can let you know once it is live.

Your Account

We have recently released a new billing service that enables ‘self-help’ for you to manage your account details and generate and download pdf’s of your invoices. Payment of subscriptions is via our credit card based service.
