Understanding Your Challenges!
Navigating Linux and open source solutions can be complex.
Many organizations struggle with getting started due to overwhelming options, while those already using these technologies often face operational and maintenance challenges due to a lack of resources or knowledge.
Companies may also have concerns about whether their software is the right fit, if implementations were executed properly, or if security and backup strategies are adequate.
