About us

An open source platform for everyone, that is the innovative idea.

Behind every good project there is a strong team: We got together in 2019 to make our idea of an open source platform a reality. With the exigencies of the global pandemic in early 2020, we were encouraged to find an alternative to centralized proprietary software solutions in foreign jurisdictions and isolated open source vendors. A challenge that we as a company were happy to take on:
