In 1999, Alexander Kesler found his home burglarized and to his surprise the thief did not steal the laptop. That started the "what ifs" in Alexander Kesler's mind that led to the inception of the idea for ZTRACE'S flagship product ZTRACE GOLD. Alexander Kesler founded ZTRACE TECHNOLOGIES in the fall of 1999 with the vision of offering the software solutions that will provide the peace of mind for an individual if his or her laptop gets stolen. The development center was established and beta testing began in 2000. ZTRACE has rapidly attracted significant world wide media acclaim since its founding and continues to gain strong attention. ZTRACE enjoys an international reach through strategic partnerships and web based distribution. The first commercial shipment of ZTRACE GOLD was in Q2 2001.
