About OG Consulting

Leaders in Open Source Solutions for Business

Think Open Source is just a new technology buzz word or just another way of talking about Linux. Think again. At OG Consulting our understanding of Open Source expands its lessons and philosophies to more than just a technology strategy but also to project management, conflict resolution and business development. OG Consulting marries the social sciences and insights into culture and the economy with a vast knowledge of current technologies and future trends. We believe technology should be invisible and procedures open and extensible. Our battleground is the inefficiency and distractions brought forth from technologies that constantly require human intervention in order for them to continue to perform their designed duties or the human inefficiency that stunts innovation and cooperation in companies.

OG Consulting is headed by James O’Malley and Laura Gorbea. Please contact us at +1(787) 638-5380 contact@og-consulting.com for more information.
