We Make Business Technology Simply Better
Simply Better Technologies is an IT consulting firm built on a straightforward belief: small and mid-size businesses deserve enterprise-grade technology — without enterprise licensing fees, vendor lock-in, or SaaS subscription bloat. We build on open source.
How We Got Here
Simply Better Technologies was founded by people who spent years watching businesses hemorrhage money on SaaS subscriptions that promised the world and delivered vendor lock-in. We saw disconnected systems, manual processes that should have been automated a decade ago, and a growing wave of AI tools funneling proprietary business data to third-party servers.
We saw mid-market companies paying enterprise consulting rates for cookie-cutter SaaS implementations. We saw small businesses trapped in ecosystems where they couldn't even export their own data cleanly. We saw teams excited about AI but steered toward expensive per-seat licenses when open-source alternatives could do the job on their own hardware.
So we built a consultancy around a different philosophy: open source first. We help businesses in that middle ground — companies big enough to have real operational complexity, but lean enough that every dollar spent on software needs to deliver clear, measurable value. Open-source tools give you that leverage.
Today, we work with businesses across industries — from logistics and manufacturing to professional services and SaaS — helping them replace costly SaaS dependencies with self-hosted, community-driven solutions they actually own.
Our Approach
Practical Over Theoretical
We don't deliver 80-page strategy decks. We deliver working solutions. Every engagement is structured around tangible outcomes your team will feel in their daily work.
Open Source First
We default to open-source solutions wherever a viable option exists. No vendor lock-in, no per-seat licensing, no surprise price hikes. You own your data, your infrastructure, and your freedom to customize.
Built for Adoption
The best technical solution is worthless if your team doesn't use it. We design every workflow, integration, and AI implementation with end-user adoption as a first-class priority — including training, documentation, and ongoing support.
Transparency by Default
Open source is transparent by nature, and so are we. You'll always know what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what it will cost. Every tool we deploy, you can inspect the code.
What We Bring to the Table
Our team combines deep technical skills with real-world business operations experience. We've worked inside the businesses we now consult for, so we understand that technology decisions don't happen in a vacuum — they happen alongside hiring challenges, budget constraints, and the reality of keeping a business running.
