Welcome to Unshackle Consulting
Some businesses happily run on spreadsheets.
Others spend €100,000 a year on enterprise SaaS.
Between those extremes lies an under-served market: small businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but cannot justify enterprise software budgets.
Our solutions are targeted for exactly this kind of business. Unshackle’s Unique approach ¶
We provide managed self-hosted servers for small businesses. Every server is dedicated to a single client and configured with the business applications that client actually needs. Value for Money Solutions ¶
Every Unshackle installation consists of three simple parts.
Server A dedicated VPS owned by your business
Software Carefully selected open-source business applications.
Management Installation, updates, monitoring, backups and support.
Together they replace dozens of recurring SaaS subscriptions.
Most small businesses can be very productively automated with a single server hosting some select open source applications.
There are applications for appointment scheduling, general ledger, customer management, documentation, invoicing, project management, file sharing, video conferencing - whatever your business needs. They are all proven and community supported. How is this different from SaaS subscriptions? ¶
Software is the single biggest factor of cost in every automation. By choosing proven open source solutions, we drastically reduce the cost of our whole automation.
SaaS subscriptions are the thin end of the wedge. Imagine a furniture making business with 12 employees. They need to keep books, manage order processing, invoice clients, track manufacturing schedules, manage my inventory, track PoS at showrooms, manage customer and vendor contacts.
If they are to go the SaaS route, the business will need a CRM subscription, an ERP subscription, a Project Management subscription, a calendar subscription - well you get the idea! The Unshackle Advantage ¶

Create your first pages
Your wiki needs to have a start page. As long as it doesn't exist, this link will be red: start.
Go on, follow that link and create the page. If you need help with using the syntax you can always refer to the syntax page.
You might also want to use a sidebar. To create it, just edit the sidebar page. Everything in that page will be shown in a margin column on the side. Read our FAQ on sidebars to learn more.
Please be aware that not all templates support sidebars.
Customize your Wiki
Once you're comfortable with creating and editing pages you might want to have a look at the configuration settings (be sure to login as superuser first).
You may also want to see what plugins and templates are available at DokuWiki.org to extend the functionality and looks of your DokuWiki installation.
