Although we are not exclusively tied to it, we support the adoption and use of open source technology.  We see open source technology as a way for growing companies to minimize start-up cost, and move into the future with a well maintained, best of breed stack of software products.  Experience has shown that the open source products available now are on par with, if not better than, their commercial counterparts.

For every challenge you have as a company there is a matching open source solution to it.  These solutions sometimes need a small amount of modification, but there are numerous developers using these technologies who are able to put forward a solution.  It is exactly for this reason that open source products outperform their commercial counterparts – they simply have a much broader base of maintainers and customizers.

All major business functions can be fulfilled by one or another open source solution.  Here is a list of a few of these:

• Relational Data Management – MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird
• Document Management – Epiware, Knowledge Tree
• Office Productivity – Open Office (Sun Microsystems)
• Photo Editing / Image Creation – The Gimp
• 3D Modeling – Blender

This is just the tip of the iceberg, and most of these packages work on Windows as well as Linux operating systems (all the ones listed above).  There has been a commitment from the South African Government to support and promote open source technology, which means that it should become more prevalent in our society from eduction through to business.  Contrary to popular belief, there is no shortage of skill in this area.

We would be truly excited to take on whatever challenge your business or institution has.  Please use the Contact form provided on the site, and we will make an appointment to come and see you as soon as possible.  Together we are building a new world of possibilities.
