Why We Believe in Open Source
At Taskbar IT Solutions, open source isn’t just something we recommend—it’s part of our origin story.
When we first launched Taskbar, we didn’t have a massive budget or a shelf full of pricey software licenses. We had to build smart, fast, and secure—without breaking the bank. That’s when we turned to open-source solutions. From firewalls and backup systems to monitoring tools and business apps, we found powerful, flexible tools that could compete with (and often outperform) their commercial counterparts.
What started as a necessity quickly became a philosophy.
By leaning into open source, we discovered more than just cost savings. We found tools we could fully customize, communities that actively maintained and improved the software, and the freedom to build systems that truly served our clients' needs.
Now, we bring that same philosophy to the businesses we serve.
Whether you're a small team looking to grow or a company ready to scale securely, we can help you leverage open-source technology to cut costs, reduce risk, and stay in control.
Client Spotlight: Seamless IT Across Multiple Locations
A local retail business needed consistent technology and support across 3 locations. Each site had different setups, outdated equipment, and no central IT partner.
- ✅ Standardized firewalls and failover internet with pfSense at every location
- ✅ Installed HD IP surveillance with cloud-managed access for all stores
- ✅ Introduced secure password sharing via VaultWarden for managers
- ✅ Migrated legacy phones to a VoIP platform for unified communication
- ✅ Delivered a single IT support number and SLA for all three sites
Result: All stores now operate under one IT umbrella—with smarter systems, better security, and faster support.
