Linux and Open Source

Our aim is to help your business by providing cost-effective, secure and reliable solutions based on Linux and Open Source.

No vendor lock-in

Most small businesses know the large cost of Microsoft software. Moving to an alternative is not easy when your company is locked into proprietary solutions.

As we use Open Source where possible we can offer you a cost-effective solution, and although we hope you'll stay with us we won't lock you in!

Microsoft software replacement

With many years of experience in Linux and Open Source software, we are happy to suggest ways that you can make the switch from expensive Microsoft solutions to Linux / Open Source.

You could replace expensive Microsoft licences on both servers and desktops with free-of-charge Open Source solutions. The cost involved would be our charge for setting everything up according to your requirements.

If you're currently considering solutions that could end up costing you the earth, contact us to find out what we could do for you, and for a no-obligation quote.
