saosce is an acronym for South Australian Open Source Consulting Engineers, spelling out the three
pillars of our core value proposition.
SOUTH AUSTRALIAN
Based in Adelaide, saosce are proud to be a South
Australian company. Adelaide was chosen for its geographic position (located centrally within Australia)
and for its ability to support our central operations with much lower overheads than any of the major
East coast cities.
These lower overheads can then be passed on to our clients, enabling saosce
to deliver quality ICT solutions to clients across Australia at more competitive rates than similar
organisations based on the East cost.
The central location allows us to provide extremely fast on-site
response to our local SA clients, as well as providing an ideal location from which to service all
other major Australian cities.
saosce specialise in Unix and Open Source
technologies. Users of Open Source software are free to read and modify the source code, allowing
unparalleled flexibility of applications to meet individual clients' specific business needs.
With the tremendous variety of mature Open Source projects available today, unencumbered by draconian
license fees, many organisations are discovering how Open Source software can deliver significant
reductions in ICT spending.
Unlike traditional proprietary models, the Open Source development
model allows for thorough peer review, a principle which has been the standard in the academic world
for centuries. This tends to lead to much more robust, secure and reliable software.
saosce is a full service consultling firm
blending the complementary discipline of ICT consulting and general business/management consulting to
provide comprehensive end-to-end solutions tailored to each client's specific business needs.
saosce personnel are experienced professionals, with strong technical
and business backgrounds.
Almost every major IT project creates the need to review real world
business processes, and the vast majority of business process reviews create the need for new IT projects.
saosce integrates these processes, delivering end-to-end solutions to
enterprises and cutting the unnecessary costs associated with having two teams of consultants for what
essentially should be one project.
Our clients have ranged from small businesses to large
corporates. A wide variety of projects have been undertaken in a diverse range of industries, including automotive, business/professional services,
education, financial services, freight, healthcare, ICT, legal, mining, oil and retail/wholesale; as well as the public sector.
