How PGMSP delivers enterprise IT through sustainable open-source engineering — transparent Cost + 10% infrastructure pricing, no per-seat licenses, and absolute data sovereignty.
Small businesses need the same IT infrastructure as enterprises — email, document management, billing, payroll, device security, backups — but cannot afford enterprise licensing. A 10-person shop paying $15/user/month for a dozen tools faces $21,600/year before any IT labor. Most forgo IT altogether and run their business on shared passwords, unpatched laptops, and fragile spreadsheet chains.
PGMSP is a Commercial Open-Source Managed Service Provider. We provide enterprise-grade IT management and support at the Lowest TCO. Our financial model aligns with the physical reality of compute: you pay for the raw utility you consume plus a flat 10% management fee. We never mark up software or charge for per-seat licensing bloat.
ChromeOS only on endpoints. No Windows, no macOS, no manual oversight. The OS enforces its own state — verified boot, sandboxed architecture, automatic updates — eliminating the labor overhead of legacy management.
Businesses pay for their raw infrastructure at-cost. A flat 10% management margin is added to fund security auditing and engineering. No per-user "growth tax." No hidden fees.
Our management fees are reinvested into the continuous improvement of the open-source stack and the engineers who maintain it.
One central pane manages hundreds of disconnected businesses with full tenant isolation and no data leakage.
We support two routes to data sovereignty: the monolithic Hub (Nextcloud) for simple all-in-one collaboration, and the Unix Way (Best of Breed) for organizations that demand modularity and maximum performance.
Our entire business strategy and technical playbooks are open-source. Anyone can follow our Migration Playbooks to reproduce this $Constant$ scaling model on their own infrastructure.

A percentage of all management fees flows back to the open-source projects we depend on. Transparent reporting shows which projects receive support.
