Which open-source applications can WZ-IT operate?

The application catalogue shows many possible workloads across collaboration, business, AI, data, monitoring and development. Before a proposal, WZ-IT reviews technical operability, edition, licence, resources, integrations and update path.

Does the application need to be in the WZ-IT catalogue?

No. Applications not yet listed can be assessed. The catalogue is a discoverable entry point and not a final positive list for every possible operating case.

Are commercial open-source editions excluded?

No. Community, enterprise and other commercial editions can be used depending on requirements. WZ-IT supports technical selection and, where agreed, licence procurement or vendor coordination.

Can WZ-IT take over an existing installation?

Yes. Before takeover, WZ-IT reviews state, version, documentation, access, database, backups, integrations and update path. Necessary remediation or migration is scoped separately.

Is application customisation included in hosting?

Configuration and technical integration can be part of the proposal. Extensive custom development, new business functions or major upstream modifications are scoped as a separate software project.

How is pricing determined?

Ongoing operations start from €499.90 excluding VAT per month. You receive the final monthly price and one-time services in the individual proposal after the non-binding enquiry.

Typical starting points

Typical open-source entry points

The required application may already be selected or can be derived from a business need first.

Law firm needs a controllable platform
Files, knowledge, communication or workflows need a self-hostable application with clear operational ownership.
Existing installation has become critical
An internally or previously operated application needs an audit, documentation, updates, backups and a reliable operator.
Several applications need to work together
Identity, secure networking, databases and APIs connect multiple open-source components into one working environment.

Service structure

Application selection and operating requirements

WZ-IT assesses the business process, data, integrations, edition, licence and long-term operating path for the required application.

Collaboration and files
Integrate cloud, document, knowledge and communication platforms with identities, sharing rules and data storage.
Automation and business processes
Connect workflow, low-code, CRM and service applications to existing APIs, email, databases and role models.
AI and knowledge systems
Operate chat, RAG and document solutions with controlled models, knowledge sources and user permissions.
Data and platform services
Operate databases, identity, monitoring and other technical components as part of a reliable overall architecture.

Operating model

Installation and ongoing operations

For production applications, configuration, integrations, monitoring, backup, recovery, updates and responsibilities are defined together.

Installed only

Default configuration without an agreed role model
Unclear edition, licence and update compatibility
Backup job without a tested application restore
No fixed response to failures and security updates

As a managed service

Configuration and integrations aligned with the business process
Edition, licence and maintenance path assessed in advance
Backup and recovery for application and data
Monitoring, update process and ownership agreed

Managed operations

Managed open source service scope

WZ-IT takes responsibility only for the agreed scope, while treating application and technical foundation together within it.

Open source for confidential workloads

Application selection and edition
Review functional need, community or commercial edition, licence terms and operability before deployment.
Installation and hardening
Configure application, database, reverse proxy, certificates, email and required services reproducibly.
Migration and data transfer
Transfer existing data, files, users and configuration through a test run and acceptance criteria.
SSO and integrations
Connect identity providers, groups, email, storage, APIs, webhooks and other business systems in a controlled way.
Monitoring and backup
Monitor availability, services and relevant jobs and agree backup, retention and recovery paths.
Updates and support
Assess releases and security updates, deploy them in a controlled way and handle incidents within the service level.

Approach

Assessment, deployment and operations

Edition, licence, data and integrations are clarified before WZ-IT commits to long-term operations.

01
Assess need and software
Capture business process, users, data, integrations and any existing installation.
02
Review edition and architecture
Define licence, dependencies, resources, identities, storage and operational boundaries.
03
Deploy or migrate
Build the target environment, move data in a controlled process and validate core functions with users.
04
Start operations and service level
Agree monitoring, backup, updates, support, documentation and response paths.

Information that helps with the initial review

Required application or business process
User count, roles and approximate data volume
Existing installation and current operator
SSO, email, storage, APIs and other integrations
Availability, backup objectives and required response
If the application has not yet been selected, describe the business process instead of a product name.

Client feedback and projects worldwide

WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.
