About Open Fusion

See our Services page for a detailed rundown of the services we offer, both locally within Sydney and remotely worldwide via the internet.

Why Open Source?

Our use of Open Source technologies is primarily a commercial decision rather than an ideological one - we simply believe that open source tools offer compelling advantages over proprietary and closed alternatives. These include:

complete access to source code
software that is often significantly more feature-full, mature, and flexible than proprietary alternatives
large technical test and review communities, and therefore fewer bugs and faster fixes
greater awareness of security issues, and much faster responses to vulnerabilities (compare the security histories of Apache and IIS, for example)
no lock-in to a single vendor
greater flexibility and control over upgrade cycles
open interfaces and standards compliance, and therefore better integration options
much greater range of commercial support options
excellent pricing!

In our experience, these translate into a genuine competitive advantage, allowing business solutions that are more cost-effective, robust, flexible, and open.
