About

Some of the Europe's most innovative organisations rely on our expertise to maximise their productivity and minimise risk. We work closely with schools, colleges, public bodies and enterprises to understand how they can use Free and Open Source technologies to become more efficient and successful.

Sirius is the UK's only Becta accredited provider of Free and Open Source-based ICT services to schools, colleges and regional authorities.

Our proven methodology removes the complexity of running infrastructures based on Free and Open Source software (F/OSS). We accomplish this by combining 'enterprise-ready' software components with our experience in designing and operating large-scale, mission-critical systems.

We are committed to delivering innovation in our field, and collaborate with our clients to help them become high performance enterprises.

Our Business Model

We have six revenue operations:

Our Philosophy

F/OSS is licensed to guarantee anybody rights to freely use, modify, and redistribute the software. If software is Free (as in Freedom) or Open Source, it facilitates choice. The choice to use the software, the choice to learn the software, and the choice to join, share, and participate in a community - a community full of enthusiastic supporters that want to see the software grow and succeed.

Sirius has emerged from the F/OSS community. Our individual motivations come from different sources, both personal and professional, but ultimately we share the same goal: to deploy and support enterprise-class solutions based on F/OSS.
