Migrate once.
Own forever.
Most paid software has an open-source equivalent that does the same job. We migrate you across, and because you own the code, your AI can add the feature you need instead of waiting on a vendor. No per-user licences.
Hundreds of products mapped. ZAR pricing. Sourced.

Missing a feature? Ask your AI to build it.
Open-source software doesn't come with a vendor who takes feature requests. Your AI does. Here's a request against a real open-source product, built on a test copy first.

One line climbs. The other doesn't.
Per-user licences tend to go up every year. Self-hosted open source does not have a licence to raise. Year by year, the gap widens.

Open source migration: questions owners ask
How much can a South African business save by moving to open source?
It depends on what you pay today and how many seats you run. Per-user licences for tools like Microsoft 365, Salesforce or Zendesk are usually the biggest line. Use the Software Savings Calculator for a ZAR estimate on your own stack.
If we own the code, can our AI actually add missing features?
Yes. Because you hold the source, your AI can read it, build the feature on a test copy, and wait for your approval before anything touches the live system. A closed product only lets you file a support ticket and wait.
Is open source software reliable enough to run a business on?
Yes. Linux runs most servers on the internet and every one of the world's fastest supercomputers. PostgreSQL and Nextcloud are used by governments and large companies worldwide.
How long does a migration off paid software take?
A single tool swap, like Zoom to Jitsi, usually takes one to two weeks including staff onboarding. A full stack migration runs four to twelve weeks depending on data and integrations.
What happens to our data during the migration?
It stays inside your environment throughout. We back up before starting, migrate in a staged copy, verify the result, and keep rollback snapshots for 30 days after cutover.
Built for: IT departments, non-profits, professional services and education.
