I hate disconnected expensive tools (and I started Fossys because of it)

I hate disconnected, expensive tools.

I don't care if you're a startup or an enterprise. Your systems should be able to talk to each other. You should be able to easily and quickly see where your business is going. That shouldn't be a luxury.

But here we are.

The SaaS Trap

In today's SaaS crazed world, we've all gotten used to paying for software tools that seem great on their own. And honestly? Many of them are great. Some are even cheap. Individually.

But then you step back and look at the whole picture.

You're paying for a CRM here, a project management tool there, accounting software over there, marketing automation somewhere else. Each one has its own login, its own dashboard, its own monthly bill. And when you add it all up? Expensive. Really expensive.

Worse than the cost? They don't talk to each other.

Your sales data lives in one place. Your financials in another. Your customer interactions scattered across three different platforms. You end up spending hours just trying to piece together what's actually happening in your business.

That's broken.

Why I Started Fossys

I started Fossys because I believe there's a better way.

I want to leverage open source tools to help eliminate disconnected and expensive software in businesses. Not by ripping everything out and starting over, but by meeting you where you are.

Here's how we do it:

First, we help you connect what you already have. Using open source integration tools, we make your existing systems actually talk to each other. Real data flow. Real visibility. No more copy pasting between apps or wondering if your numbers match up.

Then, when you're ready, we help you migrate. If an open source alternative makes sense for your business, we help you make the switch. Smoothly, on your timeline.

The Payoff

When your tools work together instead of against each other, something shifts.

You stop guessing and start seeing. You know where your business is going because the data is right there, connected and clear. You make better decisions faster.

And here's the part that really matters: over the long run, businesses that make this shift can 10x their margins. Less waste on redundant tools. Less time lost to manual workarounds. More clarity. More profit.

That's what Fossys is here to help you build.

This is the first post on the Fossys blog. If you're tired of paying too much for tools that don't work together, let's talk.
