Think Globally, Act Locally

ZHC Services, was established in 1995 by a small team of people to offer a centralised web accessible Telephone Management Systems as an Application Service Provider (ASP) on a consumption based service.


Although ZHC is primarily Cape Town (South Africa)  based we now have a global reach as our servers and services have been migrated into the Amazon Elastic Cloud (EC2). Together with popular Linux based applications (ClearOS, Vtiger 5 CRM, Liferay Portal, Drupal,  Jbilling, Magento, Limesurvey and Alfresco document management amongst others) we are also able to migrate Oracle, MSSQL, Mysql  and SAPDB databases into the Amazon Elastic Cloud (EC2).  We have extended our capability to include Microsoft Windows Server and MS SQL Server and SharePoint. We are making extensive use of EBS Elastic Block Storage to enable  database and other repositories to be persisted.  Our reccomended replacement for Sharepoint Is Alfreco Share. A licence free drop in replacment collaboration server.

Over the past 4 years we have built up extensive expertise on how to migrate many diverse business systems into Amazon Elastic Clouds (EC2)  utilising both EBS and S3 most efficiently. We also know how to minimise your cost in using the Amazon virtualised computing system.  We have developed many templates and processes to make rapid deployments possible.

• We are developing some new Oracle APEX applications. Integrating these with Oracle BI over web services  adds a  most interesting new dimension Details to follow..
