Open-source migration
Migrate once.
Own forever.
Every line of paid software you rent has an open-source equivalent that does the same job. Self-hosted. Yours. We map the stack, run the migration, and stay on to maintain what we build.
Hundreds of products mapped. ZAR pricing. Sourced.

Five years of subscription
One line climbs. The other doesn't.
Per-user licences compound at roughly 10% a year. Self-hosted open source compounds at zero. Year by year, the gap widens.
Five-year cumulative saving
R6.67M
Salesforce alone, single tool, 50 users. Stack multiple tools and the maths compounds harder.
Why not install it yourself
Open source is free.
Production-ready is not.
Six things a serious migration needs beyond the GitHub README.
EXTRACT
Data Migration
CRM contacts, financial records, user accounts. Extracted, transformed, loaded. Nothing gets lost.
WIRE
Integration
SSO, payment gateways, APIs, email. Your open-source tools plug into what you already run.
TRANSFER
Team Training
Hands-on training until your team is comfortable. No PDFs nobody reads.
MAINTAIN
Security & Updates
Patches, hardening, monitoring. Open-source still needs a team that knows what they're doing.
DEPLOY
Proper Production
Backups, monitoring, redundancy, documentation. Built to survive the second year, not the first demo.
OPERATE
Ongoing Support
We stay on as the team that maintains it, patches it, and grows it with you.
