Stop Paying Licence Fees for Software You Can Own
There's an enterprise-grade open source alternative to almost every piece of software your South African business pays for. We implement it, migrate your data, and maintain it. So it works instead of becoming a mess nobody manages.
What Are You Overpaying For?
Real licence costs SA businesses pay. The open source alternatives exist, are production-grade, and run on your own infrastructure.

Why Not Just Install It Yourself?
Open source is free to download. Making it work in production is the hard part.
Data Migration
Your CRM contacts, financial records, helpdesk history, and user accounts don't move themselves. We extract, transform, and load your data so nothing gets lost and nothing breaks.
Integration
Your open source tools need to talk to your existing systems. SSO, payment gateways, APIs, email servers. We wire everything together so it works as one ecosystem, not isolated islands.
Team Training
Software your team can't use is software that fails. We train your people on the new tools until they're comfortable. Actual hands-on training, not a PDF nobody reads.
Security & Updates
Open source doesn't mean set and forget. Vulnerabilities get patched weekly. We handle security updates, hardening, and monitoring so your self-hosted software stays safe.
Proper Deployment
We deploy on proper infrastructure with backups, monitoring, redundancy, and documentation. Built to run in production, not as a side project.
Ongoing Support
When something breaks at 2am, you need someone who knows the system. We provide ongoing maintenance and support so you're not Googling error messages when your business is down.
Migration Case Studies
Real migrations. Real savings. This is what it looks like when you stop renting software and start owning it.
Managed service provider paying R35K/month across ManageEngine OpManager, ServiceDesk Plus, and Endpoint Central. Per-device licensing scaling with every new client onboarded. Locked into annual contracts.
Migrated to Zabbix + Grafana (monitoring), Zammad (helpdesk), and Fleet + Ansible (endpoint management). All self-hosted on existing infrastructure. Monthly cost dropped to R2K for hosting. Annual saving: R396K. No per-device limits. Every new client is pure margin.
15-person company paying R3,285/month for Microsoft 365 Business Standard and R27,000/month for Zendesk Suite Professional. R30K/month for email, office docs, and a helpdesk.
Migrated to Nextcloud (file sharing + collaboration), LibreOffice (office suite), and Zammad (helpdesk). Email moved to a R15/user/month provider. Total monthly cost: R1,225. Annual saving: R345K. Team took 2 weeks to adjust. Nobody has asked for Microsoft back.
Growing startup with 8 sales reps paying R12,000/user/month for Salesforce Enterprise. R96K/month. Every new hire added another R12K. Pipeline was well-configured but 70% of Salesforce features were unused.
Migrated to SuiteCRM on AWS. All pipeline stages, custom fields, and workflows recreated. Email integration, web-to-lead forms, and reporting dashboards rebuilt. Monthly cost: R800 for hosting. Annual saving: R1.14M. Hired 4 more reps with zero additional software cost.

Plan
We build a migration plan with timelines, costs, and risk mitigation. You know exactly what's changing, when, and what it costs before we touch anything.
Migrate
We do the full setup, data migration, and integration work. Your team keeps working while we run both systems in parallel until the cutover is clean.
Support
After go-live, we maintain the infrastructure, apply security updates, and support your team. You're not left holding a system nobody knows how to run.
