At Polonious Consulting Group, we deliver effective IT implementations in Australia. A lot of this success is due to our use of Open Source technologies.
Like the companies in this image, we’ve learned over the years that it’s better to build on the shoulders of giants.
Our customers have benefited to the total tune of $2,200,000 / year in license cost savings thanks to our designs. This averages about $50K per customer per annum. Read here for more information.
We have a vast armoury of open source libraries and products we are familiar with, can support and integrate with each other. These ‘building blocks’ are integrated together to produce and effective business solution for our customers. It’s a potent combination of expertise and rich excellent base components.
Here are some other examples of potential projects and savings:
- Implementation of a full claims and policy system based on open source components. Customer able to deliver industry best service to health members with 2.5 x less staff resulting is many millions of dollars saved per annum. You can read all about in at the BPM Awards site here.
- Implementation of a full investigation management system based on open source components. Customers run their entire businesses on this software and productivity gains include a reduction in administrative staff of up to 20-40% per customer. This product is show cased here.
- Implementation of an open source mail system (Zimbra) for several client similar to Exchange results in extremely low spam count, zero license costs and an approximate saving of $65,000 per annum. This solution has become so effective, we’ve packaged up a SAAS offering for you here.
