We prefer to use enterprise-supported open-source projects integrated with single-focus, best-in-class SaaS products, rather than rely on all-inclusive solutions with high vendor lock-in. Solutions we currently employ include: Google (Mail, Drive, Doc, Sheets), Odoo ERP, Slack, RingCentral, Pipedrive, Asana, QuickBooks Time, Ubiquiti.

Our current data stack includes:

• MySQL on Google Cloud SQL - operational data store
