Our Story

Shadow-Soft was founded in 2008 on a principle that enterprise IT modernization doesn't have to mean vendor lock-in. We saw too many companies trapped by expensive, inflexible solutions that limited their ability to innovate and adapt to changing business needs.

Our founders believed that open source technologies, particularly Red Hat's enterprise solutions, offered a better path forward, one that gave enterprises the freedom to evolve their infrastructure without being held hostage by vendor licensing and artificial constraints.

Over 17+ years, we've evolved beyond our open source roots while maintaining that core principle of customer freedom and choice. Today, we help enterprises navigate the entire technology landscape, from urgent VMware migrations and AI infrastructure to end-to-end observability with partners like Dynatrace. What hasn't changed is our commitment to solutions that work and our refusal to lock clients into rigid, one-size-fits-all approaches.

Our boutique approach combines the deep technical expertise that large enterprises demand with the agility and responsiveness they need to stay competitive. We're not trying to be everything to everyone, we focus on what we do best and deliver exceptional results.
