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.
