Strategic use of open source in the company

In 2001, our open source consultants at FELLOWPRO AG started working with open source software. Since then, we have helped many companies choose the right open source technology for their needs and goals. Our goal is to support your company in sustainably increasing its innovative strength and reducing development costs in the long term. We make sure you make the right choice for your company!

In our newsletter, we present Hidden Gems in the Open Source section every month.

To achieve this, we take a strategic approach to the use of open source software in development. We look at your specific needs and goals to determine how open source can best be used to achieve them. We have a wealth of experience in helping companies successfully integrate open source into their development process and our consultants are always at the cutting edge.

Typical fields of activity for us are

Development of open source strategies
Introduction of suitable open source tools for development
Code analyses with specialized tools
Devop
Support for the team during operation, e.g. administration, release management, suggestions for improvement and service provider management
User training for the use of open source software

Important reasons for using open source software

Open standards (interoperability)
Community (for knowledge exchange)
Cost savings (cost reduction in IT)
Independence from the provider (avoid foreseeable vendor dependency)
Increased security (faster updates in the event of security gaps)
Easier customizability (to your own needs)
Increased stability (thanks to fewer errors)
Transparency (thanks to public source code)
Data protection-friendly / GDPR-compliant use possible (open source tools can often be operated on your own server and can therefore be used in a data protection-friendly manner)

We believe that open source software is a great way to drive innovation and we are proud to help companies achieve this.
