- Federated Company Backgrounder - -
-Federated Computer is on a mission to transform all business software with open-source. All business software has an open-source alternative that is feature-complete, “free,” and flexible for integration with other open-source software. We provide automated IT services, allowing our customers to adopt open-source software with confidence. Our open-source solutions are used by tens of millions of users around the globe.
-Team
We are a small group of pioneers. We include founders of the cloud computer industry. We want a world and internet where big company black-holes don’t suck away all our money, data, and sovereignty. We are FedQ’d in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA with colleagues around the globe.
-Open Source
There’s no reason to use expensive, proprietary, privacy-destroying SaaS software. But in the past, running open-source software required lots of technical knowledge. Federated Computer makes it easy for any business to adopt open-source.
-We are great stewards of the benefits of open-source. Our company actively contributes both financially and with code to a number of open-source projects offered in Federated Core and Federated Plus including Castopod, Bookstack, Headscale, Matrix, and OpenMandriva. We do all the work for you to ensure open-source projects are integrated, work well together, and provide you with the right value.
