Our list of services

Please do enquire if you are unsure of whether we can assist you. Kohera is in contact with consultants in many technical fields and can probably arrange a combined service where necessary. What follows are our principal areas:

• General office and home technology advice and visiting services, both on purchasing and using equipment and software, and focussing on Open Source solutions like OpenOffice.org but also all the common productivity applications.

Kohera's services focus on the use, advocacy and development of Open Source software where possible. We recommend such solutions whenever it is in your interests for us to do so. For a business-orientated introduction to this approach and the cost and quality advantages of this software model, please see The OSI's Case for Business. This approach and the products developed using it are also suited to home users.

If these sorts of advantages appeal to you, and you appreciate a more personal, rather than a "big corporate"-style service, Kohera may be the place to go for your hardware software and IT service needs.
