The use of Open Source Software (OSS) is, for most organizations, the most effective way to reduce costs and improve system reliability and security. The cost savings are because:

Open Source solutions are well tested and evaluated
We evaluate the licensing regime offered by these solutions to ensure that the Source code is actually available freely (with no strings attached) thus avoiding vendor lock-in.

Zero Licensing cost
We base our business solutions on Open Source software that has zero licensing costs.

Well-tested, high quality business solution
Open source solutions are developed by a large team of developers that is continuously enhancing and at the same time testing the software. The sheer participation in an active developer community is such that no commercial software development team can possibly match the quality offered by such a collaborative environment.

Faster turnaround time
Business solutions are offered by building on top of the core functionality already offered by open source solutions. This helps turnaround a business solution much faster than a custom software development project.

Continuously improving software
Open Source software are continuously updated with enhancements and patches and not driven by a single company's business priorities. This makes the business solution benefit from the other developments carried out by the community.

Total cost of ownership
Almost all professional open source business solutions support Linux versions as the operating system platform. This helps implement a completely free software stack with zero licensing costs thus decreasing the total cost of ownership drastically.

Organizations need independent, high quality advice on how to make the transition to OSS. Relying on vendors to provide strategic advice is not the way forward. By ensuring freedom of choice. Tanaashi clients have saved millions from their IT budgets both by deploying Open Source technology and by being in a position to negotiate with their existing software vendors for massive reductions in license costs.

Tanaashi is a leading consultancy with an outstanding track record in computing and Open Source.

Tanaashi is working with organizations that are migrating their systems to OSS.
