Tailored IT solutions for YOUR business — since 2005
✂ Celebrating 20+ years of tailored IT

IT solutions tailored to fit. Since 2005.

Open Source Tailors gives YOUR businesses honest, vendor-neutral IT guidance backed by decades of hands-on experience — from managed services and cloud migration to the hardware on your desk.
Since 2005

Over twenty years ago, we asked one question: what do IT customers actually want?

01

No pressure advice

Unbiased recommendations from experienced advisors who aren't locked into any single manufacturer. We tell you what we'd buy if it were our money- because our business depends on the next twenty years of your trust, not this quarter's quota.

02

Commodity pricing

Open systems and distributor-direct relationships mean you get enterprise capability at the right-sized cost. When budgets are tight, we can even source certified refurbished equipment- flexibility single-vendor shops can't offer.

03

Custom-tailored solutions

No two businesses wear the same size. We fit the solution to your environment, your staff, and your budget- never the other way around.

Broadcom changed VMware. Your next move doesn't have to be painful.

Thousands of businesses are being forced to rethink their virtualization strategy. OST is one of the few partners offering both paths- so our recommendation is based on what fits you, not what we happen to sell. 20+ VMs? A funded migration to AWS through the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) can materially offset your cost of change. Fewer than 20 VMs? Our fully hosted private cloud delivers familiar virtualization economics with local support. Either way, you keep the same OST helpdesk, monitoring, and managed services wrapper.

Why "Tailors"?

Because off-the-rack never fits quite right.  We started OST in 2005 with over 60 years of combined experience from HP, Novell, Cisco, and IBM channel businesses- and a belief that honest, integrity, and long-term relationships beat the quick sale every time.  Our purpose has never changed: technology that frees you (and us) to make the soccer game and the school play.

FAQ

Straight answers to common questions

We're facing a VMware renewal. What are our options?

Broadcom's licensing changes have a lot of businesses re-quoting. We'll price your renewal honestly against the alternatives — including ComputerVault private cloud hosted at Flexential in Salt Lake City — and tell you if staying put is the right call.

Do you replace our internal IT person, or work with them?

Either. We fully manage IT for some clients, and co-manage alongside internal staff for others — monitoring, escalation, and extra hands for projects.

What does "no phone trees" actually mean?

When you call, an engineer answers. No tiered ticket queue, no script — the person who picks up can actually fix the problem.

Can you help us move to AWS?

Yes — we're an AWS Partner focused on small and mid-size business: funded migration assessments, well-architected environments, and ongoing managed AWS services.

What size of business do you work with?

Utah businesses from a handful of seats up to about 500 employees — big enough to need real infrastructure, small enough to be ignored by enterprise vendors.
