Open Source Solutions

Specializing in Mixed-OS Environments

LCW can provide you with a convenient single-source to help you build and maintain a secure and reliable network infrastructure that combines Linux® with your existing Microsoft Windows® technology.

Linux and related open source technologies can provide significant savings to businesses and organizations in place of, or alongside, Windows-based technologies. LCW can guide you through the integration puzzle.

Technical Services

Simply put, we can support  your network environment for less…

We understand that everyone is affected by the current economic crisis. You spoke and we listened. We know that your IT budget is at its lowest, while your expenses are higher than you’d like.  Open Source Solutions would like to lend a hand and offer its own relief package.  Through the stabilization and consolidation of your networking environment, higher efficiencies and reduced IT costs can be achieved. We’ve done it for our existing clients and are confident we can apply it to your environment also.

We help our clients save significant amounts of money, and improve security, increase efficiencies and reduce overall operating costs in their use of business technology, communications, information management, databases, web sites and software. We accomplish this through the use of open standards and open-source software such as the Linux operating system and many others.

Our services emphasize solutions based on the Linux operating system, open-source and wherever possible, open-standards. Open-source and standards-based solutions can boost efficiencies, save money, increase return on investment and improve interoperability. The significant cost-savings and increased efficiencies provided by most “open” systems have become so widespread and acknowledged that entire governments around the world have even legislated their use over expensive and closed proprietary solutions.

For more information on why “open” systems/solutions are beneficial to your business and bottom-line, please check out our Why “Open” Solutions section.

Rather than offering costly proprietary or completely custom-built solution, Open Source Solutions offers a third alternative: assembling business solutions using open-source software and open-standards. Therefore we offer solutions built around the Linux operating system and other exceptional open-source solutions for Content Management (Joomla CMS), Course Management (CMS), Document Management, Database Reporting, Customer Relations Management (ERP5), VOIP/PBX (Asterisk) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP5). This allows our clients to be compliant in software usage with zero licensing costs while leveraging the power of the latest internet technologies, increasing return on investment (ROI) and avoiding single-vendor lock-in scenarios.

  • How We See Things

    Our goal is to help you realize your Open Source strategy. We have the experience and dedication needed to ensure your Open Source stack is efficient, stable and productive.

    Our philosophy is that your IT infrastructure shouldn't be a burden, it should be a differentiator. We participate in many Open Source projects and are dedicated to supporting Open Source, while realizing that current business needs sometimes necessitate the use of proprietary applications.

    We offer a variety of services and have the ability to implement, configure, support and optimize a wide assortment of Open Source technologies.

    Whether you're a Web 2.0 startup looking for a scalable but affordable infrastructure or a traditional company looking to solidify your online presence, we can help. We understand not only the technology, but also the business requirements and budget constraints involved.

    Let Open Source Solutions bring your online presence to the next level.
