To mark two decades of unrivalled service, the company, which is marketed as 'the open source solution', invites its partners, customers and open source enthusiasts to celebrate with it.

As Obsidian reflects on future IT roadmaps, it still believes what underlines Obsidian's value proposition is having skilled consultants provide proactive support, along with the knowledge of key principles of open standards and transparency, to decrease security risk and benefit from peer reviews and an in-tune OS community.

"We are very proud of our leadership position in the market and the level of service we continue to provide. Open source is growing in appeal and in influence within a market that is hungry for solutions that offer reliability, flexibility and a reduction in the total cost of ownership," said Muggie van Staden, MD at Obsidian Systems.
