This unique positon in the market gives our users access to leading open source software packages such as SugarCRM, Zimbra, and Drupal with out-of-the-box integration delivered as a service.

There are other vendors out there– such as Jitterbit, Talend, and SnapLogic – who offer on-demand open source integration, but do not offer the delivered package. These firms require customized setups and third party hosting to deliver a consolidated solution.

So what does our solution provide for you and your business?

  • One place for all your apps – Flatten the learning curve for employees, easily turn on and off access to applications, and add functionality in the future.
  • Integration/Synchronization – Dual entry is expensive and error prone. DataSync Suite aims to eliminate dual entry and data duplication by providing simple intuitive integration capabilities.
  • Easy Access – Access DataSync Suite from a single web portal or on your mobile device.
  • Control – Permissions based structure keeps data in the right hands, sensitive materials are only accessed by the appropriate users.
  • Simple deployment – DataSync Suite can be deployed in an on-site or hosted environment.
  • Affordable price – On average, DataSync software products cost 50% less than the competition.

DataSync Suite solves the software integration problem that many companies face. We do it as a service, lowering the cost to consolidate and integrate your software. To learn more about how DataSync Suite can help your business eliminate redundancy and improve efficiency, sign up for a free trial.

At DataSync, we believe bringing together various open source software applications is the solution for businesses looking to increase efficiency. We are not the only ones out there who think this, as Matt Asay of The Open Road noted in his blog post “Mix and match: The perfect open-source Web commerce company” recently.

“Why not give such small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) a way to build a Web presence (Drupal) and a way to drive customers to their sites (OpenX) at the same time?”

Our consolidation of Drupal to build a web presence, SugarCRM to enhance customer service and manage sales, and Zimbra as a collaboration application for businesses is our solution to finding the perfect blend of open source software. We’re taking simple software that all businesses need to run a company, and consolidating them to increase business’ efficiency and productivity. 

We think downloading multiple applications and having data scattered across various dashboards is a waste of time. We want to provide a solution to lessen the hassle.

“Granted, mergers and acquisitions always look better on paper than in actuality, but I think the combination could be potent. Each company comes with strong communities and strong products. Each also contributes to a very interesting, subscription plus transaction-based revenue stream.”

We’re excited to be a part of this trend, and look forward to the future of open source software. We are constantly looking at new software applications that we could add to our DataSync Suite. We want your input, what open source companies would you like to see added to our mix?
