Why open source?
Open-source tools reduce lock-in, make costs more predictable, and give you a real migration path if the business changes.
They also make customization practical. If a workflow needs to match how your business actually runs, you should not need a vendor’s permission to change it.
Security is not about marketing pages. It is about visibility, control, and how fast you can respond when something breaks. Open systems are easier to inspect and defend.
