Blue Atlas' open source team helps lessen the perceived risk associated with using open source solutions. In the recent past, there has been the perception that organizations were 'on their own' to enhance, support and maintain open source applications. Blue Atlas provides the full life-cycle of services to ensure that our clients use of open source solutions is a successful endeavor.

Blue Atlas' open source services include:
  • Infrastructure audits to take a detailed look at the existing IT infrastructure to see what services can readily be replaced with a cost-saving open source solution.
  • Installation and configuration of open source applications.
  • Integration of open source applications with legacy systems.
  • Training in using and managing open source solutions.
  • Maintaining open source applications.
