Get to know a bit about them before visiting their stand at the show…
What do you do?
We provide services (training, consultancy and support) on an open source product called Zabbix. Zabbix is a universal all-in-one solution which offers monitoring of your entire IT infrastructure. Zabbix is our core business, and not a side gig or something like we see at a lot of our competitors. Since it’s open source we do not have a product to sell, but only our services. In the past years we’ve trained hundreds of people, provided full implementations of Zabbix all around the world and built many custom integrations.
How did you get started?
Well, 10 years ago I started working at a company that used Zabbix as their monitoring solution. At first I did not like the product at all but after a few weeks I started to see the potential and embraced the product. 5 years ago Opensource ICT Solutions B.V was founded, as I loved the product so much that I wanted to work with it on a fulltime basis. 3 years ago we started a subsidiary in the United States and 1.5 years ago we opened a subsidiary in the United Kingdom. This means that me and my team are basically 24/7 working with the product nowadays, all over the world.
What are you looking forward to most at SITS?
We are looking forward to meet our potential customers, Zabbix users and especially people that have never heard of us, or Zabbix before. Also, it’s great to wonder around at an event such as SITS to meet people, see the newest technology and learn about what people are looking for in regards of monitoring solutions.
Why should visitors come to your stand?
We do not have a product for sale, yet can offer the best monitoring solution you can imagine. That means we are open for just a ‘hi!’, a technical discussion, quick introduction/demo to the product, a sales talk, etc. Our guys at the booth are all technical, with a broad knowledge of both the product and many different technologies – we’re up for a challenge!
You can meet the Opensource team at stand 185 at SITS, The Service Desk & IT Support Show, on 10-11 May 2023 at ExCeL London. You can now register for your free ticket here.
