What Open Source Consulting does

Open Source Consulting (오픈소스컨설팅), founded in 2013 and headquartered in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, is a privately held Korean IT services and product company specializing in open-source-based cloud infrastructure and enterprise collaboration tooling. The firm operates two integrated solution portfolios: a Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps stack built around its proprietary Playce Cloud platform (combining OpenStack, Kubernetes, CI/CD automation, GPUaaS, and VMware migration tooling) complemented by SUSE, AWS, and Ceph integrations; and an Atlassian-centric Collaboration and ITSM stack including Jira/Confluence/JSM implementation, Cloud Shift migration services, Agile coaching, and a portfolio of Forge-based Flexible Apps (User License, Space Navigation, Table, Bulk User Import, Project Management) sold via the Atlassian Marketplace. The company also resells and implements monday.com, Miro, and SUSE enterprise software, and runs GPUaaS and VMware migration services to capitalize on the post-Broadcom open-source replacement cycle.

The company serves large Korean enterprises, financial institutions, and government/public-sector clients, with named customers including Korea Meteorological Administration, LG CNS, LG Electronics, LG H&H, KB Kookmin Bank, Renault Korea Motors, and Korea Chamber of Commerce & Industry, alongside 300+ global enterprise users of its Flexible Apps. GTM is a hybrid of direct enterprise field sales in Korea, Atlassian Marketplace distribution globally, and partner-led expansion (Atlassian Platinum Partner, SUSE Diamond Partner, monday.com, Miro, Appfire, with new 2026 partnerships with Catenoid and Strato). The firm holds elite ecosystem credentials — two-time Atlassian Partner of the Year (Korea's only), first Korean SUSE Diamond partner, CNCF KCSP certification, and GS Grade 1 certification on Playce RoRo — and operates with 70%+ technical headcount out of 11–50 total employees. Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription/recurring product (Playce Cloud, Flexible Apps, GPUaaS, WASup) and professional services (Atlassian consulting, Cloud Shift migration, Agile transformation), with European sales operations established in the Netherlands and Spain in 2025. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding and publicly targets 60% of revenue from self-developed products within three years under its GAPP 2026 strategy.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Valiantys: Largest Atlassian Platinum Partner globally, headquartered in France. Valiantys sells Atlassian consulting, licensing, and add-ons through Atlassian Marketplace — directly competing for the same enterprise migration and ITSM/DevOps Agile engagements that OSCi delivers in Korea.
• Adaptavist: Global Atlassian Platinum Partner and Marketplace app developer (ScriptRunner, JMWE, etc.) with a large catalog of paid Atlassian apps. Direct competitor to OSCi's Flexible Apps portfolio and to OSCi's Atlassian implementation/migration services.
• Appfire: Major Atlassian Marketplace app publisher (and OSCi's recognized APAC Best Partner for 2026). Overlaps with OSCi on the Marketplace app business and competes for the same Atlassian budget pool at enterprise customers.
• Cprime: Atlassian Platinum Partner focused on enterprise Agile, SAFe, and Atlassian toolchain implementations. Comparable to OSCi's Agile Transformation and Cloud Shift services in target customer and delivery model.

Regional players

• ClearPoint (ACE): New Zealand-headquartered Atlassian Platinum Partner (now part of ACE) offering enterprise Atlassian consulting and Cloud migrations in APAC. Comparable Platinum-tier partner competing for similar Atlassian transformation deals, including in Korea-adjacent markets.
• Mitsue Links (Japanese Atlassian platinum partner): Japan-based Atlassian Platinum Partner offering consulting, Cloud migration, and Marketplace apps. Comparable Asia-Pacific peer and potential partner/co-opetitor for cross-border APAC Atlassian engagements.

Emerging players

• LINAGORA: France-based open source IT services and software firm offering open source cloud, collaboration, and government-grade solutions. Comparable to OSCi's open source consulting, private cloud (Playce Cloud), and public-sector focus.
• Cloudbase Solutions: Specialist OpenStack and cloud-native deployment/consulting firm with strong ties to the OpenInfra ecosystem. Directly comparable to OSCi's Playce Cloud (OpenStack) delivery and OpenInfra Foundation membership.

Broad incumbents

• SUSE / Rancher Labs services ecosystem: SUSE itself plus its Diamond partner ecosystem (of which OSCi is a part). SUSE Harvester and Rancher are core to OSCi's HCI/container offerings; enterprise SIs and SUSE service partners overlap with OSCi's Kubernetes/HCI migration practice.
• SK C&C / LG CNS (Korean IT services incumbents): Large Korean IT services and system integrators (LG CNS is also an OSCi customer) that bid on cloud, ITSM, and Agile transformation deals in Korean enterprises and government — competing with OSCi for the same large RFPs.
