Package with Digital Engineering,

IT- and SME-Practice

License-free open source software or paid software?

Companies such as Google, Facebook and Microsoft make massive use of open source software and benefit enormously from it.

So there are good reasons for SMEs to also use open source software. The license-free SME open source package offers a wide range of powerful applications such as office software, ERP, CRM, artificial intelligence, document management and much more.

Flexibility and Independence for your Business: The SME Opensource Package

Every company has its own starting position and individual working methods and goals, which can also change over time. This should not result in any dependencies.

The KMU-Opensource package is the basis that enables precisely this and accompanies and supports companies in their development.

This includes business planning (ERP), customer management (CRM) and much more.

The Services "Strategy + Planning" and "Timeboxed Innovation" can be used to set this up to suit the company appropriately.
