Mission


There is a demand for quality and affordable IT services for small businesses, non-profit making organisations and individuals who cannot afford their own IT department or services of IT companies. For most IT firms, these user groups are unprofitable.

I acknowledge that the above-said user sector cannot pay much—it requires long hours at lower rates—but it offers job autonomy, flexibility, and (life) purposes , provided one loves the job he/she does. I am passionate about my profession; hence, I aim to make quality IT and computing services affordable. In the process, I seek to:

“Free Software” and “Open source Software” systems are collaboratively developed by millions of volunteer programmers and software engineers worldwide for anyone to use, copy, study, and modify (if they wish), free of charge. These systems—which have an excellent track record of safety, security, and stability—empower billions of computer users worldwide. It is movement.

It my mission to make quality IT and computing services affordable.

Footnotes

  1. Low-budget smaller organisations and freely available open-source software systems are a perfect match: (i) Smaller organisations provide great flexibility needed for open-source implementation, and (ii) open source software systems help lower the organisations' IT budget (since there is no licensing fee) + no licensing administration hassle.
  2. Since Open-source software systems are subjected to the scrutiny of millions of independent programmers worldwide, these software systems are less likely to have buggy and malicious code. They, in fact, dominate the web server and development markets and have an excellent track record of safety, security, and stability.
