do smart.
Your IT should serve your business — not hold it hostage.
We help small and mid-sized companies run on Open Source: lower costs, no vendor lock-in, and full control of your data — on infrastructure you actually own. At your pace, without ripping everything out at once.
What this means for you
- Lower running costs — no per-seat licences, no forced upgrades, no paying for features you don’t use.
- No lock-in — open standards instead of one provider’s rules. Self-host or switch providers whenever it suits you.
- Your data stays yours — transparent, auditable, GDPR-compliant. No hidden telemetry, no third-party access.
- Built to last — systems your team (or ours) can still understand and maintain in five years.

You don’t have to change everything at once. Begin with a single tool, one team, or one server — and expand once it works. Whether that’s replacing one application or moving your whole stack, you decide the scope and the pace.
Why now
Dependence on a single foreign provider is a business risk that grows with every price change and every political crisis. The shift is already happening: German public institutions must exchange documents in Open Document Format (ODF) from 2027, and the region of Schleswig-Holstein has moved 30,000 workstations off proprietary software, saving around 15 million euros a year in licence costs.
Open Source turns that risk into control — transparent software, open standards, and no vendor holding the keys.
