Specsavers Case Study

Specsavers is one of the fastest growing retailers in the UK with 25% of the high street opticians market. In 2006 they became a billion pound company. Sirius deployed an Open Source directory service to centralise the authentication of WindowsTM PCs and other network services.Guernsey, delegated master replicas are located in the UK, Finland, Hong Kong and Australia. This model gives each location better security, greater business autonomy and more speed when performing administrative tasks at local level.

Sirius is the technical support provider for Yell Adworks’ use of the Enterprise-class Open Source database, PostgreSQL.

Open Source in Schools

Sirius is the only Becta-accredited supplier to UK schools which specialises in supporting Open Source software. Founded in 1998 and a publicly limited company, we give you the opportunity to expand into the world of high-quality Open Source software with confidence.

PostgreSQL and PostGIS Services

PostgreSQL is the Open Source world's enterprise class database and boasts a pedigree longer than most proprietary databases.
 
Our decade-long commerical experience has proven that workloads usually undertaken by Oracle and other proprietary databases can be switched to PostgreSQL.
 
Not only does this save enormous amounts of money in licence and other fees, but it frees you from compliance and auditing worries, proprietary lock-in, and Patent threats from agressive and litigious proprietary software companies.
