OSCAR Support
Commercial Support
OSCAR is a free, open source product, and has a variety of companies and individuals supporting it. You are free to 'do it yourself' but this requires in depth understanding of server administration and security. There are a number of companies who can do this for you. OSCAR maintenance and support are provided by OSCAR Support Providers (OSPs). OSPs can make sure that your OSCAR system is up to date, they are groups or private companies and function independently of the OSCAR Canada Users Society (OCUS). Listing on this page does not imply endorsement of any organizations by OCUS.
Find out about the OSPs
Potential clients of these companies should research them to ensure they are happy with their choices. Ways to do that research include, asking for references and joining the OSCAR UserGroup email discussion list to ask other OSCAR users about their experiences. The OSP's below have qualified for listing on this site by responding to the survey requested by OCUS. The survey asks for simple demographic information such as business location, contact information, years in business, and an aggregate count of users being supported. No personal, identifying information about users is sent. This allows OCUS to track the growth of OSCAR usage across Canada and internationally. New OSP's who wish to be listed are also asked to provide two references. OSCAR Support Providers are listed alphabetically:
CAISI (Client Access to Integrated Services and Information) Northwest Electronics, Records & Design Open Health Software Solutions Inc. Peaceworks Computer Consulting Inc. Trimara Corporation, Ottawa, Ontario Varsity Computers & Services Inc., Vancouver, BC Wertheimer Computer Works Inc., Montreal, Quebec These are private companies that are known to OSCAR Canada User's Society. They function independently of the Society. Most of these companies provide installation, setup and training services and you can purchase an 'out of the box' solution, an OSCAR server and backup device/server with OSCAR already installed and configured for you, from them. You may also like to (we recommend) get ongoing support and training from one of the OSCAR Service Providers. Security and reliability of your OSCAR system should be paramount in your plans.
