What are seats?

Seats determine the maximum number of workers that can use the software at the same time.

For example, a team of 30 workers that is evenly split into three shifts (e.g. morning, day, night) only requires a 10 seat license.

You aren't paying per worker account -- so there's no penalty for creating accounts for all your full-time users, plus any part-time contributors, interns, temps, contractors, partners, and volunteers. You can invite everyone to participate.

With over 10 years of project history, we've pioneered many innovations in web-based collaboration

Employ Virtual Attendants

Virtual Attendants provide you with incredibly flexible and easy to configure business automation. Attendants can be instructed to do anything workers can do by creating custom behavior on events. Virtual Attendants can also schedule behavior in the future; for example: to remind you about something, to ping a sales lead, or to ensure that customers are receiving prompt service (especially if you've promised them as much with an SLA). For even more efficiency, Virtual Attendants can also be used like macros -- repeating any number of frequently performed actions with a single click.

Build your own productivity H.Q.

With Cerb you can create as many personalized workspaces as you want. Each workspace can contain customized lists of anything in the application (e.g. tasks, tickets, contacts, opportunities, notifications), with your desired output, and filtered to exactly what you're interested in. A workspace can also be shared between multiple workers.

We've worked with over 18,979 organizations:

"The Cerberus helpdesk system completely surpassed our expectations. The product is extremely well built and powerful. Even after handling over 145,800 tickets the helpdesk continues to fly and provide everything we've ever required in a helpdesk system."
- Robert D., Security Technician, ImHosted.com (2004)

We believe in commercial open source.

We've never felt entirely comfortable with tools that hide their source code -- so we share 100% of ours. Our code repositories on GitHub are world-readable.
There will always be people who bypass the license, steal code, or copycat concepts. We're not going to be paranoid about it and mistrust everyone.
Our industrious community shares thousands of extra eyes and minds; shoddy work wouldn't make it past their scrutiny.
If people have to be forced into financially supporting our project then we went very wrong somewhere.

We believe in agile development.

We're not interested in withholding useful improvements merely to have a more marketable announcement.
We aim to publish updates every few weeks based on community feedback.
We don't want to make hostages out of bug fixes and usability tweaks. We won't charge you for them.
All of our development and planning tools are open to the community.

We believe in platforms and toolkits.

There are thousands of competing projects that are only interested in solving simple problems. We pick up where they left off.
We don't want to build schizophrenic software that forces everyone's opinions on everyone else.
We want you to see our work as a great starting point for the solution you've always wanted. We'll help you add the finishing touches.
People are used to asking what software wants them to do. We believe in taking the time to show people how to take back control.
It's rewarding to see people using our tools to solve problems we never anticipated in creative ways that we never thought of.

We believe software is art.

Encyclopedia Britannica defines art as "A visual object or experience consciously created through an expression of skill or imagination."
We feel so many other projects think art means "indulging fads with shiny interfaces".
Subtle beauty is important, but it looks like clown makeup when aesthetics try to hide a lack of depth. We invest heavily in usability, flexibility, stability, scalability, and maintainability.

Cerb is constantly being improved based on community feedback. Share your thoughts!

WebGroup Media, LLC. (WGM) is a commercial open source company that was founded in April 2001 to build web-based enterprise collaboration software. We're lean, profitable, and organically-bootstrapped. We share 100% of our source code due to our fundamental belief that bits and bytes have less value than experience and long-term, mutually advantageous relationships. Our client list is international and spans most industries, including governments, advocacy groups, political campaigns, educational institutions, charities, and businesses of all sizes.
