Pioneers · since 1998

28 years writing the corporate playbook for Linux and open source — for enterprises and industries across all sectors.

We were one of the first companies to bring Linux and open source software to corporate industry — integrating them with proprietary systems and existing ERPs to deliver high-performance platforms without throwing away what already works. Analysis, development, implementation, training, consulting, and custom development. Every project is built with the best combination for the problem at hand — Linux and open source as the preferred technical base, integrated with the proprietary technologies and platforms already in place at the client.

Pioneers
in the industry · since 1998

Corporate pioneers in bringing Linux and open source software to banking, government, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, and education — when "open source" wasn't even in CIO vocabulary. We continue leading with AI applied to SDLC.

International
multi-region presence

We deliver for corporates, governments, and industrial plants across different time zones, languages, and regulatory frameworks — analysis, development, implementation, support, and training with the same single point of contact, without geography limiting delivery.

Integrators
open + proprietary · high performance

Specialists in composing solutions where open source and proprietary technologies coexist. We integrate Linux and open source stacks with Oracle, SAP, IBM, Microsoft, and the platforms the client already runs — no forced replacements, no rip-and-replace.

Advocates
Linux & open source in the industry

For 28 years we have promoted the use of Linux and open source software in the technical community and corporate industry — training teams, presenting real use cases, and supporting gradual, tailored adoption strategies. Every engagement leaves a client with more technical capacity on the open source ecosystem.

Frameworks and standards

We operate under the compliance frameworks the client or the sector requires.

The stacks we put into production and the security, governance, and delivery practices we follow are aligned with the frameworks below — we apply them when the sector demands them by regulation or when the client requires them by internal operating policy.

What sets us apart

AI in the loop. In every decision, in every delivery.

We don't use AI as an add-on. It's the central axis of our operation: proprietary stacks of autonomous agents that act as force multipliers in every project phase, from strategic planning to production code. We operate in two modes per use case: AI in the loop (humans drive, agents accelerate) and human in the loop (agents execute scoped tasks, humans validate and sign). We choose the mode based on risk, criticality, and required governance. A single technical leader with AI in the loop covers the scope of a traditional team of 3–5 people, with greater speed and lower operating cost.

/01

Executive direction augmented by AI

AI-assisted strategic decision-making. Risk analysis, roadmap prioritization, and architecture evaluation with augmented reasoning.

/02

Agent-accelerated SDLC

Autonomous agents integrated into the development cycle: code generation, review, testing, documentation, and deployment. The human team supervises and validates.

/03

Technical hyper-productivity

Capacity to simultaneously assume roles (Cloud, SRE, SecOps, Architecture) at speeds far above traditional methods. One operator, multiple functions.

/04

End-to-end traceability

Every decision, every commit, every deployment audited. Executive reports generated by agents that your governance and compliance team can consume directly.

Proprietary frameworks behind the differentiator
Compass

Agent-driven development on large codebases

A proprietary framework that preserves context, objectives, and traceability when AI agents operate over codebases of hundreds of thousands to millions of lines. Prevents drift: the agent delivers what was asked, not what is easiest to generate.

Plexus

AI-driven engineering cells and team management

A proprietary framework to coordinate entire engineering cells — humans and agents — under shared objectives, metrics, and feedback loops. Applies equally to small product teams and corporate IT engineering areas.

Forge

Open source LLMs adapted to your industry

We work with open source models (Llama, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek, among others) that we train, distill, and specialize to the client's language, data, and regulations. You don't depend on a single closed AI vendor.

When clients call us

The scenarios that bring enterprises to us.

If any of these resonate, there's a short path to a solution. The first session is 30 minutes, free, with no commitment — you leave with three concrete recommendations you can apply with us or on your own.

Your infrastructure no longer scales

Manual deploys, unpredictable downtime, and cloud spend growing faster than the business.

You want to consolidate your stack on Linux and open source

Your CFO is pushing to cut proprietary licensing and your team wants to standardize on enterprise Linux — RHEL, Ubuntu, Rocky — with enterprise support and a contractual SLA.

You want AI integrated with technical governance

The board is pushing for AI adoption and you must prove human supervision, traceability, and compliance.

Your systems don't talk to each other

Integrations are missing, your ERP doesn't fit operations, or you need custom development — including open source ERPs like Odoo when it applies.

A regulatory audit is on the horizon

HIPAA, CNBV FAC4, CONAC, or SOC 2 are coming and documented controls or evidence are missing.

A critical project is running late

You need external technical direction that executes — not a PMO with slide decks or a consultancy with vanity dashboards.

Legacy is holding back growth

Old ERPs or proprietary stacks limit the business and you can't pause operations to migrate.

Your team needs training and technical depth

Missing certifications, practices, or depth in cloud, Linux, AI, or security. We train on real cases and bring in senior specialists when the project grows.

Recognize yourself in any of these? Tell us in a 30-minute session. We adapt the scope, bring in the specialists from our network who apply, and build the path forward with you.

Frequently asked questions

What we get asked in the first meeting.

How does the Fractional CTO model with AI in the loop work?
We operate as your executive technical leader, without the cost of a full-time CTO. We define the roadmap, coordinate the specialist network, and make AI-agent-assisted decisions. The human team supervises and validates; AI accelerates analysis, prioritization, and execution.
What guarantees that AI won't introduce errors in production?
Human supervision is mandatory. Agents generate, test, and propose; a senior engineer reviews, validates, and signs off on every change before it touches production. Every decision is audited and traceable end-to-end, ready for your governance and compliance team.
Do you work with regulated sectors like banking, government, and healthcare?
Yes, and they are one part of our client mix. We have delivered projects compliant with HIPAA, CNBV (including FAC4), CONAC, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS, signing NDAs, BAAs, and the sector-specific agreements required. We also serve retail, manufacturing, e-commerce, SaaS, education, services, and any industry with demanding technical operations. References and architectures are shared under confidentiality where applicable.
How do you scale the team if the project grows?
We operate a network of 45+ senior specialists (80% at 8–10 seniority) across 10+ technical disciplines. We activate profiles on demand — cloud architects, AI engineers, security, blockchain, or industry specialists — without you having to negotiate with each one separately.
How is each engagement contracted?
By project, with scope, timeline, and deliverables signed before kickoff. Each proposal is custom-designed for the client — including objectives, team, schedule, and investment model — and formalized in an MSA with the applicable sector agreements (NDA, BAA, DPA). We don't operate with canned packages or standardized rates.
Where do my clients' data reside?
Your choice. We operate in global AWS, Azure, GCP, and IBM Cloud regions per the regulatory frameworks applicable to your sector. Data residency is documented in the contract.
What SLA do you sign?
For critical infrastructure we sign 99.9% uptime with response < 4 business hours to incidents and weekly reports. For Fractional CTO retainers, we commit to communication within 1 business day and a monthly technical committee with your C-suite. SLAs are signed in the MSA, not subcontracted.
Do you work with startups, small organizations, or companies in digital transformation?
Yes. We serve enterprises of any size: startups that need to validate architecture, organizations in digital transformation or cloud migration, mid-size companies modernizing their stack, and corporates running multi-year programs. Most published cases are from large companies because those are the ones with NDA clearance to showcase — but we adapt scope, team, and investment model to your situation. We work as advisors guiding your team's strategy, or as implementers delivering the solution directly; you choose the mode.
Is the initial consultation free?
Yes. The first 30-minute session is free and without commitment. We analyze your current situation and, if we can help, we say so. If it's not our wheelhouse, we say that too — and recommend someone who can.
