Linux at work, without a break in daily routine

Rieger Systems moves workplaces to Linux and open source, on site or as a remote desktop in the EU. You save licences, use devices longer and stay independent of single vendors.

When this pays off

  • Good computers are to be replaced because Windows 11 no longer supports them.
  • Licence costs rise every year without giving you more.
  • One vendor decides what happens to your data and subscriptions.

What we move and look after

We rely heavily on Linux ourselves, on servers, in development and at the workplace. That experience comes with us.

  • Linux workplaces

    Installation and care on your devices, maintainable and free of licence chains.

  • Remote desktop

    Hosted desktop in the EU, reachable from anywhere and centrally maintained.

  • Mixed operation

    Critical programs stay for now, the rest moves step by step.

  • Data migration

    Documents, mail and calendars move too, matched to your formats.

  • Training

    We bring your people along before the new workplace goes live.

  • Ongoing care

    Updates, support and adjustments from one source.

What replaces what

Most workplaces have sound free alternatives. Whatever lacks a full replacement, we name before the pilot.

  • Windows

    Ubuntu, Debian or Linux Mint

  • Microsoft Office

    LibreOffice or ONLYOFFICE

  • Outlook

    Thunderbird

  • OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams

    Nextcloud with Talk

  • Photoshop

    GIMP or Krita

  • Illustrator

    Inkscape

  • InDesign

    Scribus

  • Windows Server

    Debian or Ubuntu Server

Worked example

An office with 30 workplaces

Situation
Eight-year-old devices still run perfectly but are not approved for Windows 11. Replacing all computers is on the table.
Approach
Inventory, a pilot with five seats, then the move to Linux and LibreOffice. Two specialist programs keep running over remote desktop.
Result
The devices stay in use, the purchase is off for now and licence costs drop sharply.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Rieger Systems rely on Linux?

Linux is free, stable and openly documented. Nobody can cancel your use of it, and your data stays under your control.

Do our programs run on Linux?

Many do, not all. We name specialist programs without a full replacement early and keep them running over remote desktop if needed.

Can it run alongside Windows?

Yes, that often makes sense as a transition. Critical programs stay for now, the rest moves step by step.

On site or remote desktop?

Both are possible, also mixed. Hosted desktops run in the EU.

What does it save?

Licences and new devices. We work out how much with your numbers. Our price follows the scope and is in the offer.
