Open Source as the Foundation. Quality as the Product.
Open source is neither an end in itself nor a synonym for free software.
We deliberately rely on open-source technologies because they enable transparency, vendor independence, and long-term investment protection. Our real contribution, however, lies in developing a professional end-to-end solution for industrial use from freely available components.
This is because turning freely available source code into production-ready software often requires weeks or even months of development, integration, and testing.
Say goodbye to unpredictable license costs and rigid pricing models!
With our open-source solutions, you can count on maximum transparency, full control, and long-term investment security.
You are not investing in source code – you are investing in a solution.
The source code for many of our software components is freely available. What our customers are purchasing is the expertise and development work required to turn it into a reliable, maintainable long-term solution.
This includes:
- Selection and integration of suitable open-source components
- Development of custom extensions and tools
- Reproducible build and installation processes
- Comprehensive quality and functional testing
- Clear documentation
- Regular maintenance and security updates
- Long-term support
This is how open source becomes a reliable solution for everyday industrial use.
Why we rely on open source
Open source offers benefits that go far beyond the price.
- Transparency – The source code remains traceable and verifiable.
- Sustainability – your investment will remain usable in the future and can be further developed if required.
- Flexibility – New requirements can be implemented more easily than with proprietary systems.
- Vendor independence – You retain long-term flexibility and avoid vendor lock-in.
- No risk of license audits or additional charges.
- Unlimited number of users – no additional costs, whether you have 10 or 10,000 users.
Our Quality Promise
Industrial software must operate reliably and produce reproducible results.
To ensure this, we dedicate significant development resources to:
- Standardized installations
- Reproducible software packages
- Documented releases
- Extensive testing
- Long-term maintenance
Our goal is to let you focus on your processes – not on installing or maintaining your software.
Productive Together
Our solutions are designed to be implemented and put into operation in the shortest possible time.
The actual implementation for the customer often just takes a few hours. This is only possible thanks to the extensive development and integration work carried out in advance. As a result, you receive a solution that is not only technically impressive but can also be put to productive use from day one.
