Generation Z, Inc. is a leading edge Information Technology and business process consulting firm located in the Dallas Fort Worth area since 1995. We invent new ways to USE technology to solve problems and increase productivity.

We specialize in ultra reliable, highly supported open source technologies for mission critical business servers using Linux and choices of many thousands of applications on the market that fit your needs. Our next focus is to easily modify those applications to accommodate the finer intricacies unique to your business and processes. Try that with any lower cost off-the-shelf software.

For highly specialized businesses, open source technologies used to develop applications can save incredible amounts of dollars over the proprietary alternatives costing 10's to 100's of thousands of dollars. Migration and integration will be painless with a little planning and our experience. Total cost of ownership is greatly reduced as many businesses and governments have learned. With the end of life operating systems that you may be using today approaches, now is a great time to migrate.

Whether you have a DSL Internet connection or a T3, we will configure your servers tailored to your business. With world renown security built into the foundation of Linux along with fire walling, monitoring, intrusion detection, e-mail virus scanning and spam filtering applications, those virus, worm and crack threats will disappear with very little effort and maintenance - the productivity of your business will increase immediately even with a VPN.

We do not "push" this open source revolution to your desktop, that's for the highly technologically savvy, but when an enormous amount of dollars can be saved, the learning curve is not difficult and does not stop productivity, we let you know.

Our job is to save you money, help you make those constant changes to your business processes, teach your employees how to exploit the benefits and minimize disruption. The approach and methods we use in todays business climate in regard to technology has changed over the last five years dramatically. Running around to every desktop, installing a piece of software for every task has changed. Browser based applications where possible saves money. Manpower in the maintenance department is reduced as well. Here are some examples.

Open Office - a no cost replacement for what you are using today. Compatible with all the spreadsheets, documents and presentations you have created in the past. Obviously a stand alone application.

Contacts, calendar, scheduling, e-mail client, group based project and office management. These key open source applications and actual data will reside on your server(s) and are accessed through your browser. Replaces what may have came with your OS. Immune to all the exploits and viruses. No more share this, where's that data file when you need to know who's out of the office or looking for that number your secretary took yesterday.

Our number one goal is to exceed our customers' expectations when challenged with their business needs. Efficient analysis of your processes and requirements are conducted, implementation and deployment phases are equally efficient. We invite you to outline your needs to get started saving today.

Open Source works, reduces costs and our implementation will increase productivity, guaranteed, or your money back. Ever heard that from an IT department?

Thank You,
The Generation Z Team
