About Us

Cortexo is a private company based in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The name is derived from the cerebral cortex, a structure within the brain that plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. (See the Wikipedia entry). We see our LiveHMI service as providing the same services for distributed machinery as the cerebral cortex provides for the human brain.

Cortexo Limited was launched on 20 November 2008 by its parent company Bootstrap IT, a software development company based in Christchurch New Zealand. Since 1994 Bootstrap has been providing practical, efficient software solutions in monitoring and work allocation systems.

Bootstrap IT has specialist expertise in building solutions for keeping track of people and plant that is mobile or remote. PCG Server is a remote monitoring application and MyRoster is a human resource application for rostered staff. Bootstrap IT also undertakes custom development projects.

Cortexo has licenced the PCG Server software from Bootstrap IT to use as the core of its LiveHMI (fully hosted monitoring service). Cortexo's mission is to provide hosted monitoring in the microCHP, environmental and industrial sectors. Cortexo specialises in microCHP monitoring and currently provides monitoring for the WhisperGen stirling engines world wide.
