We're proud to participate in the Open Source community. We see our role as being a service company devoted to helping businesses learn about and use open source software.

Open Source changes many of the rules of business. Instead of being completely driven by revenew, Open Source software is often offered under what we call the "NPR model." Anybody can listen to public radio, but enough people have to pay in order for it to stay on the air.

Anybody can use Open Source software for free, but enough people have to contribute back to the community or it won't get developed. Giving back to the community is a key part of being a responsible part of the community.

At Freelock Computing, 10% of the revenue of all of our retainer agreements and fixed price project fees are contributed back to the open source projects used for the solutions. By choosing Freelock Computing for your solutions, you are supporting the continued development and enhancements of the larger Open Source community. We also contribute code fixes and make other contributions such as the Open Source Providers web site to the community.

We offer various levels of service contracts, depending on your needs. When determining the size of a service contract, we consider two factors: the basic maintenance issues, and the projects necessary to implement.

Freelock Computing is your one-source stop for all your small business technology needs. We provide both custom development and ongoing support and maintenance.

We're strong in both areas. We love helping people solve problems, and we've found that developing strong relationships with our customers usually provides great mutual benefits. We stay on top of technology, and keep track of what's installed at your location.

For a long time, accounting was one of the few missing Linux functions. Not anymore. There are now some top notch accounting solutions, especially for experienced bookkeepers.
