We help teams get their code
to the best platform for the right data.
Obsidian Systems builds and manages the open source platforms, data pipelines, and DevSecOps toolchains that enterprise AI depends on with local support and 30 years of delivery in South Africa.
Where we help
Open Hybrid Cloud
Locked into one vendor's roadmap, or duplicating environments to avoid it?
We architect hybrid cloud that keeps your workloads — and your data — portable, wherever regulation says they need to sit.
Operational Resilience
When something breaks, can you prove you saw it coming?
We build the infrastructure and operational discipline that keeps critical systems running, and keeps the evidence ready before anyone asks for it.
Risk & Compliance
Everyone knows what the regulator wants. Almost nobody can prove they're doing it.
We close that gap — turning compliance from a policy document into something your systems demonstrate every day.
AI & Analytics
AI pilots are easy. Governed, auditable AI in production is not.
We help you deploy AI that your risk team will actually sign off on.
Customer Experience
Multiple teams, multiple channels, one customer who doesn't care whose fault the outage was.
We help you ship consistent digital experiences without the delivery chaos behind the scenes.
Our core capabilities
Four integrated practice areas — Teams, Code, Data, and Platforms — covering your entire open source technology lifecycle.
