Open Source Support Centre

imagecredativ provides a one stop service for all free software support through its Open Source Support Centre. We offer professional commercial support for all major distributions from our support team of more than 40 developers, who are actively involved in free software projects across the board.

credativ has a great deal of experience with Linux and open source software development and administration within the workplace. credativ developers are active in the development of many open source projects and so have the expertise to offer this support.

We offer a flexible range of support packages and our clients gain value from us even if they do not use their allocated support hours. These unused hours can be exchanged for alternative credativ services.

Our OSSC support team is available up to 24/7 via telephone, email, remote access or on site. Our clients gain fast access to our experts with no call centre escalation procedure. Our open source software support team is one of the most versatile in the industry - whether you need assistance in global migrations, administration of servers or help making smaller changes, we can handle it all.
