Federated Computer is on a mission to transform business software with open-source. Every piece of software your business needs has a capable, "free," flexible open-source alternative — the hard part has always been making it work together, reliably, without a technical odyssey. That's the problem we solve.
|
|
|
|
We help businesses "de-Google," "de-Microsoft," and de-Big-Tech in general — winning back self-determination, ownership of their own data, and real flexibility over how their technology works for them.
