ImaginOZ InfoTech: Supporting Opensource in Mount Gambier and the Southeast of South Australia
At ImaginOZ InfoTech, our core business is creating, promoting, and supporting Opensource and other Open technologies for Home, Business and Education.
Established in 2009, Our technical support people have been writing and supporting Opensource and building on other open technologies for many years before starting this venture. We believe that it's past time that enterprise and home users alike were given the option to receive quality, professional onsite or offsite support for the Opensource/Libre applications they use on their servers and desktops. Based in Mount Gambier, in the South-east of South Australia (420km south east of Adelaide), we currently limit our onsite support to within 100km of this city. For those further afield, we can offer support via Phone, Email, Jabber realtime chat or other method. Our experienced personnel can provide support and enhancements to existing opensource software inexpensively, with each improvement going back to the community. With extensive experience in a vast range of opensource/GPL'd applications and operating systems, we can assist you in retaining the inherent cost benefits of Free software whilst increasing workflow. For businesses that haven't yet switched over to Opensource alternatives from their existing proprietary software, we can provide a list of alternatives that match functionality and usability, and provide training and ongoing support where necessary.Why Opensource?
Open source software utilizes a transparent method of software development which has peer-review as one of it's many benefits, with zero vendor lock-in as another. With the opensource transparency of process comes fast bug and security fixes due at least in part to it's many-eyed approach. For more information regarding opensource, see the Open Source Initiative. We also have one or two articles on the subject here.
