From strategy to ongoing support — everything you need for a successful migration to open source.
Honest assessment: What systems are in use, what dependencies exist, and what's a realistic path forward? We analyze your IT landscape, identify open source alternatives, and develop a roadmap that fits your organization — with real savings numbers, not vague promises.
Set up systems, migrate data, ensure everything works together. We work in phases with parallel operation so the transition doesn't become a disruption. Linux desktops, LibreOffice, Nextcloud, email — all configured and ready. We involve your team from day one so nobody is left behind.
Introducing new software without training is like giving someone a car without a license. We train not just the "how" but also the "why" — this reduces resistance and accelerates acceptance. Your team will be confident and productive from day one on the new tools.
Don't want to run your own infrastructure? We host your applications on Canadian servers. Full data control, transparent costs, personal support. Your data stays in Canada — under Canadian law — with no US cloud exposure. PIPEDA compliant by default.
After migration, we're still here. Technical questions, adjustments, optimizations — personal contact with people who know your systems. No anonymous ticket system, no waiting days for a response. We're your IT team, just without the full-time salary.
The open source market is diverse but hard to navigate. We know the tools, their strengths and weaknesses, and help you select the right stack and negotiate with vendors. No kickbacks, no hidden preferences — just honest recommendations for your situation.
Anonymized example based on a typical SaveOnSoftwares project.
Full Microsoft stack — Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive. Data stored on US servers. High monthly subscription costs per user.
Migrated to open source stack hosted in Canada. Email, calendar, file sharing, and office suite — all running locally with full data sovereignty.
Timeline: 6 weeks — pilot → rollout → training
PIPEDA compliant. Canadian data storage. Staff trained and comfortable within 2 weeks. Zero downtime during migration.
"After two weeks, nobody was asking for Microsoft anymore." — Office Manager
