When to choose OpenProject or Taiga for self-hosted agile work
Choose OpenProject when agile delivery has to share one tool with waterfall milestones, portfolio reporting and stakeholder Gantt views. Its Community edition already includes work packages, Gantt charts, agile boards and time tracking, but the requirements that often decide a rollout sit in the Enterprise plans: single sign-on through SAML, OpenID Connect, CAS or Kerberos, LDAP group synchronization, full baseline comparison, and portfolio and resource management. If those requirements are firm, evaluate the Enterprise tier from the start. Choose Taiga when the team works mainly in Scrum or Kanban and wants the agile model at the center of the tool: Scrum backlogs, sprint planning, estimations, burndown charts, Kanban boards with swimlanes and WIP limits, and epics with sub-tasks.
Compare the operating model before you commit, because the two platforms ask different things of your platform team. Taiga's documentation names Docker as the recommended production installation, and a deployment runs taiga-back, taiga-front, taiga-events, taiga-protected and taiga-async with PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ. The events and protected services must share the back end's secret key, so that value belongs in your secrets process and your upgrade runbook. OpenProject also recommends Docker, but it additionally offers .deb and .rpm packages on a limited set of distributions and a Helm chart for Kubernetes, and it requires PostgreSQL 16 or later with the pg_trgm, btree_gist and unaccent extensions. Ask who will own each service, how upgrades are tested, and whether your team already runs RabbitMQ and PostgreSQL at the level each stack needs. The taiga-docker README sets out the Taiga services in more detail.
Settle three questions before you shortlist. First, are the Gantt, portfolio and SSO requirements firm? If they are, the OpenProject Enterprise features are the relevant comparison, and you should check the current plan terms for your expected user count. If they are preferences, Taiga's agile focus may be enough. Second, how does the team work day to day? Scrum teams that plan in sprints and Kanban teams that manage flow will notice the difference in their daily boards more than in any feature list, so run both tools with a real backlog. Third, which importer does your current tool need? The OpenProject Jira migration guide describes a Jira Migrator that is in beta and reads Jira Data Center 10.x and 11.x only, so Jira Cloud is outside its scope. Taiga documents imports from GitHub, Jira and Trello. Confirm the exact Jira edition and data volume with each vendor before you plan the cutover.
Which platform fits which team scenario
This table maps common team situations to the platform that fits better and the condition that makes it true. Read each row as a starting point: the condition column tells you what to verify in your own environment before you decide. Taiga is the stronger choice for pure Scrum and Kanban work, while OpenProject fits teams that need Gantt views, portfolio reporting or enterprise identity features.
| Scenario | Better fit | Condition that makes it true and where the other platform still works |
|---|---|---|
| Pure Scrum team with sprints and burndown charts | Taiga | Taiga lists Scrum backlogs, sprint planning, estimations and burndown charts as core features. OpenProject also offers agile boards, so OpenProject remains reasonable if the team wants one tool for agile work and wider project reporting. |
| Kanban support or ops team with WIP limits | Taiga | Taiga's Kanban boards support swimlanes and WIP limits. OpenProject can run boards, so choose it only if the same group also needs time tracking or Gantt views for planned work. |
| Mixed team with a PMO and Gantt reporting | OpenProject | OpenProject's Community edition includes Gantt charts and dashboards. Portfolio and resource management sit in the Enterprise plans, so confirm which features the PMO needs before choosing a paid tier. |
| Regulated organization needing LDAP group sync and SAML or OIDC SSO | OpenProject | OpenProject's pricing page lists SAML, OpenID Connect, LDAP group sync and related SSO options as Enterprise features. Taiga's identity options are not covered by the facts available here, so confirm them with the vendor before treating Taiga as a fit. |
| Team migrating from Trello or GitHub | Taiga | Taiga's documentation covers importing projects from GitHub, Jira and Trello. OpenProject's Jira Migrator is beta and only supports Jira Data Center, so it does not help a Trello or GitHub move. Test either import on a copy of real data first. |
| Team migrating from Jira Cloud | Taiga | OpenProject's Jira Migrator reads only Jira Data Center 10.x and 11.x and is marked beta. Taiga's documented importers include Jira, so confirm the supported Jira version and the import scope with each vendor. |
| Teams that need a self-hosted platform with minimal container setup | OpenProject | OpenProject supports packages for 64-bit Linux and recommends Docker. Taiga's documentation names Docker as the recommended production path, which means both require container skills, so choose based on features rather than install method. |
| Team wanting a wiki and documentation alongside tasks | Taiga | Taiga includes a wiki with its project tools. OpenProject also offers project wiki features, but if documentation is the main need, a dedicated wiki such as XWiki or BookStack may fit better. |
How OpenProject and Taiga are built and deployed
OpenProject and Taiga both run on your own servers, but they ask for different stacks and different amounts of packaging work. The cards below set out each install path, the database and queue dependencies behind it, and what each choice means for upgrades, backups and the people who run the system.
OpenProject Docker installation
Docker is the recommended way to run OpenProject, so most self-hosted teams will start here. The image and its compose setup give you a repeatable baseline, but you still own the host, the reverse proxy, TLS and the backup schedule. Ask your team which upgrade path they will follow, since a container image update and a version pin in your compose file are routine tasks that need a tested rollback plan. Confirm the current compose layout against the installation documentation before you standardize on it.
Packaged DEB and RPM installs
OpenProject also ships .deb and .rpm packages for 64-bit Linux, which suits teams that manage servers through standard OS tooling. Packaged installs are limited to specific distributions, including Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, CentOS or RHEL 9.x and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15. If your platform team runs other distributions, the package route may not apply, and you should confirm support before you commit. Packages change how you patch the OS and the application, so write down which one owns each step.
Kubernetes and Helm for scale
OpenProject offers a Helm chart for Kubernetes with horizontal scaling, which matters when user counts grow beyond what a single host handles comfortably. The sizing guide suggests 4 cores and 4 GB RAM for up to 200 users, and 8 cores and 8 GB for about 500 users. A cluster adds Kubernetes operations, storage classes and ingress to the workload your team must support. Unless you already run Kubernetes well, ask whether the added complexity is justified by your user count.
PostgreSQL 16 and required extensions
OpenProject officially supports PostgreSQL 16 or later since version 16.0.0, and it requires the pg_trgm, btree_gist and unaccent extensions. A managed or shared database server must allow these extensions, or the install will fail at the point you least want it to. Database backups, point-in-time recovery and patch windows become your responsibility unless a managed service takes them on. Confirm extension availability with your DBA before you choose a hosting model.
Taiga Docker production setup
Taiga's documentation names Docker as the recommended production installation, and the taiga-docker README requires Docker 19.03.0 or later with Docker Compose. A working deployment runs taiga-back, taiga-front, taiga-events, taiga-protected and taiga-async with PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ. The README advises the stable branch for production, so track that branch rather than main. Plan for RabbitMQ as an extra stateful service that needs its own backup and monitoring.
Taiga secrets and service coupling
In a Taiga Docker deployment, the events and protected services must share the back end's secret key. A mismatch or a poorly managed secret breaks features in ways that are easy to misread as application bugs. Your team should store that key in a secrets manager, document where it is injected, and rotate it only through a planned change. Ask how the chosen compose setup handles secret injection before you copy example files into production.
Taiga source install and upgrades
Taiga also provides a separate guide for installing from source code, which suits teams that must align with an internal build pipeline or avoid containers. The source route puts Python, service configuration and queue setup in your hands, so it demands more maintenance skill than the Docker path. Taiga's repository tags list 6.10.2, 6.10.1 and 6.10.0 as recent releases. Whichever path you pick, check the release notes before each upgrade and test migrations on a copy of production data.
Feature, licensing and integration differences at a glance
This table compares licensing, editions, agile and portfolio features, identity options, importers, APIs and integrations for OpenProject and Taiga. Where the researched facts do not confirm a Taiga capability, the cell tells you what to verify with the vendor before deciding.
| Capability | OpenProject | Taiga |
|---|---|---|
| License | GPL-3.0, developed by OpenProject GmbH | Back end (taigaio/taiga-back) under MPL-2.0; check the license of each other component before deployment |
| Paid editions | Free Community edition; Enterprise on-premises plans priced per named user per month (Basic, Professional, Premium, Corporate) | On-premise option is open source; confirm with Taiga which hosted or support options exist and what they cost |
| Scrum and Kanban | Work packages, agile boards and Gantt charts in the Community edition | Scrum backlogs, sprints, burndown charts, and Kanban boards with swimlanes and WIP limits |
| Gantt charts and baselines | Gantt charts in Community; full baseline comparison is an Enterprise feature | Not confirmed in supplied facts; verify with the vendor |
| Portfolio and resource management | Portfolio and resource management listed as Enterprise features | Not confirmed in supplied facts; verify with the vendor |
| SSO and LDAP | SAML, OpenID Connect, CAS, Kerberos and Okta SSO, plus LDAP group sync, listed as Enterprise features | Not confirmed in supplied facts; verify supported identity providers and LDAP support with the vendor |
| Custom branding | Listed as an Enterprise feature | Not confirmed in supplied facts; verify with the vendor |
| Importers | OpenProject Jira Migrator imports from Jira Data Center 10.x and 11.x only, not Jira Cloud, and is in beta | Documented importers for GitHub, Jira and Trello projects |
| REST API and webhooks | Not covered in supplied facts; verify API scope with OpenProject documentation | REST API (the same API the web app uses) and webhooks are documented |
| Listed integrations | Nextcloud integration documented; confirm others in the OpenProject docs | GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gogs and Slack |
What the license and paid editions include for each platform
The Community edition is free to download and run under the GPL-3.0 license, which means you can deploy it inside your own infrastructure without a subscription. It includes the core planning features most teams start with, and support comes from the community rather than from a contract. The cost you carry is internal: the people who install, patch, back up and upgrade the system, plus any outside help you buy separately. Based on the supplied pricing facts, the Community edition includes:
- Work packages: the central unit for tasks, bugs and features, with the project data model that the other views build on.
- Gantt charts and agile boards: scheduling and board views for teams that plan in both timelines and sprints.
- Time tracking and dashboards: effort logging and project overviews without an additional license.
- Community support: public forums and documentation, with no guaranteed response time.
- Self-hosted deployment: installation in your own environment, which is the deployment model this comparison assumes.
Before you commit, confirm which features your team needs from the Enterprise list below, because those are not available in the free edition.
Enterprise on-premises plans add features and a support relationship on top of the Community code. Pricing is per named user per month, so the monthly figure multiplies with headcount. The pricing page lists Basic at 5.95 euros, Professional at 10.95 euros with a 25-user minimum, Premium at 15.95 euros with a 100-user minimum, and Corporate on request for 250 or more users. The features the pricing page places in Enterprise beyond Community include:
- Single sign-on: SAML, OpenID Connect, CAS or Kerberos, with Okta also named in the supplied facts.
- LDAP group synchronization: mapping directory groups into OpenProject roles and memberships.
- Full baseline comparison: comparing planned and actual schedules over time.
- Portfolio and resource management: multi-project views and capacity planning.
- Custom branding: changing the look of the instance for your organization.
Minimum user counts mean a small team may not be able to buy a given tier at all, so compare the Professional and Premium options against your actual seat count. Ask for the Corporate quote in writing if you have 250 or more users, and confirm which plans are available for your deployment model.
Taiga's back end is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, a file-level copyleft license that the taiga-docker README also states applies to accepted contributions. Taiga describes itself as 100% open source and offers an on-premise option that keeps data on your own servers, alongside a hosted version at tree.taiga.io. The supplied facts do not describe the scope of any paid tiers, their prices, or whether the on-premise option carries commercial terms beyond the open-source license. You should confirm these points directly with Taiga before comparing costs. Points to verify include:
- Back end license: MPL-2.0 for taiga-back, as recorded in the repository metadata.
- On-premise option: confirm what it includes and whether any feature is limited to hosted use.
- Hosted version: confirm pricing, data location and what Taiga operates on your behalf.
- Paid tiers: request a written list of any paid editions, their features and their support terms.
- Support scope: confirm whether commercial support exists for self-hosted installs and what it covers.
Until those answers are in writing, treat Taiga's self-hosted cost as the infrastructure and internal administration you carry, and do not assume a paid edition exists or that it matches OpenProject's tiers.
What drives the running cost of each platform
Running either platform costs more than its license line. The biggest recurring items are the servers each stack needs, the staff time that keeps upgrades and backups current, and any paid support or Enterprise terms you choose. Use the cards below to build a written quote that compares the two options on the same scope.
Server sizing for OpenProject
OpenProject's sizing guide suggests 4 cores and 4 GB RAM for up to 200 users, 8 cores and 8 GB for about 500 users, and 16 cores and 16 GB for about 1,500 users. These are recurring infrastructure costs on your cloud account or data center, paid to your hosting provider. Ask your team to map these tiers to your real user count, then add PostgreSQL 16 or later, which OpenProject requires, and a backup target.
Taiga service footprint
A Taiga Docker deployment runs taiga-back, taiga-front, taiga-events, taiga-protected and taiga-async with PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ. That means more running services to host, monitor and patch than a single application with a database. Recurring hosting cost scales with those containers, and the events and protected services must share the back end secret key, which adds a configuration task at every rebuild. Request a sizing estimate from your platform team for this exact service set.
Staff time for upgrades and backups
Your own engineers or a contracted partner pay for upgrades, backup tests and restore drills, and this effort recurs with every release. OpenProject ships roughly monthly minor releases, so the upgrade cadence is frequent. Taiga's Docker path depends on tracking the stable branch and its image versions. Ask any partner to state in writing how many upgrade cycles per year are included, who tests restores, and how rollback is handled.
OpenProject Enterprise licenses
Enterprise on-premises pricing is per named user per month, with Basic at 5.95 euros and Professional at 10.95 euros (25-user minimum), Premium at 15.95 euros (100-user minimum) and Corporate on request for 250 or more users, according to OpenProject's pricing page. This is a recurring fee that only applies if you need SSO, LDAP group sync or custom branding. Confirm the tier that includes each feature you need, the user count, and whether multi-year terms change the rate.
Support contracts and retainers
Community support for OpenProject is free, while Enterprise plans include vendor support. For Taiga, the self-hosted path has no supplied paid support tier, so ask the vendor directly what support exists. Separately, an implementation partner may offer ongoing support or upgrade retainers, which are recurring and priced from a written scope. Ask for response expectations and what happens when a release breaks your integration.
Integration and migration services
Migration is mostly one-time, but its cost depends on the source system. The OpenProject Jira Migrator imports from Jira Data Center 10.x and 11.x, not Jira Cloud, and is in beta with documentation advising test setups only. Taiga documents importers for GitHub, Jira and Trello. Ask for a fixed scope covering data mapping, user and permission rebuilds, test runs and cutover, and confirm which source versions your team uses.
How to move from one platform to the other
This sequence moves projects, users, workflows and history from one tool to the other with a tested import, a rebuilt identity setup and a clear retirement date for the old system, whichever direction the move runs.
Export and inventory projects, users and roles
Start by listing every project, sub-project, active sprint or board, user account, group and role assignment in the source tool, and record who owns each one. Confirm which accounts are human users, which are service accounts and which are inactive. Taiga's data and OpenProject's work packages and roles each have their own export paths, so check what the source tool can export in full before you commit to a method. The output is a signed-off inventory spreadsheet that the project owners have reviewed.
Map statuses, workflows and custom fields
Build a mapping table from each source status, issue type, priority, severity and custom field to its target equivalent. Taiga's user stories, tasks and issues with custom types and severities do not map one to one onto OpenProject work package types, statuses and workflows, so decide in advance which values merge, which become new custom fields and which are dropped. Agree the table with a project lead from each team. The output is an approved mapping document that lists every value and its destination.
Run the importer in a test setup
Load a copy of the source data into a separate test instance of the target tool and run the import there first. For OpenProject, the Jira Migrator is in beta, imports only from Jira Data Center 10.x and 11.x rather than Jira Cloud, and its documentation advises test setups only. For Taiga, check the importers that its documentation lists for GitHub, Jira and Trello, and confirm that the version you are using still supports the source you have. Record every error and warning. The output is a test import log with a list of known gaps.
Validate issue history and attachments
Compare a sample of tickets from the test instance against the source, checking titles, descriptions, assignees, status changes, comments, timestamps and attachment counts. Open several attachments to confirm they download and display correctly. Pay attention to closed items, linked items, and any history that the importer cannot represent. Confirm with each vendor, or in your own environment, whether comment history and attachment metadata come across in full. The output is a signed validation checklist with the sampled items and any accepted exceptions.
Rebuild SSO and LDAP mappings
Identity does not move with the data, so configure the target tool's sign-in again. OpenProject lists SAML, OpenID Connect, CAS, Kerberos and Okta single sign-on, along with LDAP group synchronization, among its Enterprise features, so confirm your edition covers the methods you need before you plan this step. Taiga's identity options should be checked the same way in its documentation. Map each identity group to the roles it should hold in the target tool and test sign-in with a pilot group. The output is a tested login path and a role mapping that the identity team has approved.
Cut over and freeze the source
Pick a cutover window with the project owners, put the source tool into read-only or a frozen state, run a final import from the latest data and repeat the validation on the new copy. Announce the new URL and sign-in path, and set up the team's integrations, such as Git hosting or chat hooks, against the target. Taiga's integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gogs and Slack and its webhooks need to be reconfigured separately. The output is a go-live record showing the final import, the validation result and the list of integrations that were re-pointed.
Retire the old tool and keep an archive
After the team has worked in the new tool for a period you agree in advance, export a final archive of the source data and store it under your retention policy. Remove user access, revoke API tokens and webhooks, and decommission the source servers or containers. Confirm the retention period and archive format with your legal and records owners rather than assuming them. The output is a retirement record listing the archive location, the access removal and the date the source was switched off.
Where implementation projects with OpenProject or Taiga usually run long
Identity and database setup decide how long an OpenProject rollout takes before anyone can sign in. On OpenProject Enterprise, single sign-on supports SAML, OpenID Connect, CAS, Kerberos and Okta, and LDAP group synchronization can drive project roles. Confirm which of these your identity provider supports and agree the group structure before installation. Ask your directory team for the full group list, nested group rules and owners. Unmapped identity groups are a common cause of delay, because users can sign in yet arrive with no project access. On the database side, OpenProject officially supports PostgreSQL 16 or later and requires the pg_trgm, btree_gist and unaccent extensions. Confirm that your managed database service allows these extensions, since a missing extension usually surfaces at install time. Check the system requirements sizing guide against your user count before requesting hardware.
Taiga's Docker production path has more moving parts than teams often expect. The taiga-docker README requires Docker 19.03.0 or later with Docker Compose and recommends the stable branch for production. A deployment runs taiga-back, taiga-front, taiga-events, taiga-protected and taiga-async, backed by PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ. The events and protected services must share the back end's secret key, so generate that key once, store it in your secret manager and inject it into every service the same way. A mismatch is a setup fault your team should catch in a test environment on day one. Identity needs the same early attention. Taiga's published integrations cover GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gogs and Slack, but the materials reviewed here do not confirm SAML, OIDC or LDAP sign-in. Ask Taiga, in writing, which sign-in methods and group sync the version you plan to deploy supports before you promise single sign-on to the business. Review the taiga-docker README for the current service list.
Upgrade cadence and data mapping shape the run phase. OpenProject ships roughly monthly minor releases, including 17.7.0 on August 5, 2026, 17.8.0 on September 2, 17.9.0 on September 30 and 17.9.2 on October 15, so assign a named owner to each release, test it in staging and take a snapshot before each change window. Read the OpenProject release notes before every upgrade. For migration, the OpenProject Jira Migrator reads from Jira Data Center 10.x and 11.x only, and it is in beta with documentation advising test setups. Taiga's importers cover Jira, Trello and GitHub, but test each one on a copy of your data. Common delays include unmapped workflows, custom fields with no target and issue types with no equivalent on the other side. Ask the client to provide a workflow inventory, an export of identity groups with named owners, a decision on who signs off each mapping and a test project for a dry run.
Questions buyers ask before choosing OpenProject or Taiga
What does a self-hosted OpenProject or Taiga cost depend on?
Licence fees are only part of the bill, and for both platforms most of the self-hosted cost is staff time and infrastructure. OpenProject Community is free to use, while OpenProject Enterprise on-premises is priced per named user per month: the pricing page lists Basic at 5.95 euros and Professional at 10.95 euros (25-user minimum), Premium at 15.95 euros (100-user minimum), and Corporate on request for 250 or more users. Taiga's back end is licensed under MPL-2.0, but its production stack includes PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ that someone must patch and back up. Ask each provider for a quote that separates one-time setup, recurring subscriptions, hosting, and who performs upgrades and backups. Confirm whether any paid Taiga support exists, since no supplied source describes it.
How long does a migration from Jira or Trello take?
No researched duration is available for either platform, so treat any timeline as something to confirm in writing. The main drivers are where your data lives and how much of it you keep. OpenProject's Jira Migrator reads Jira Data Center 10.x and 11.x only, and Jira Cloud is outside its supported sources. The migrator is in beta, and the documentation advises using it only in test setups, so a production move may need manual steps. Taiga documents importers for GitHub, Jira and Trello, and you should test each one against a copy of your data to see which fields, attachments and workflows survive. Other drivers include the number of projects, custom fields, historical attachments and retraining. Ask for a plan that lists the source version, the status and field mapping, a dry run and a cutover window.
Can an internal team run OpenProject or Taiga without outside help?
A team with Linux, container and PostgreSQL skills can run either platform, but the work is ongoing and recurs with every release. OpenProject recommends Docker, offers packages for Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, CentOS or RHEL 9.x and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15, and provides Helm charts for Kubernetes. OpenProject ships roughly monthly minor releases, so budget time for regular patching. Taiga's documentation names Docker as the recommended production installation, and the taiga-docker README requires Docker 19.03.0 or later with Docker Compose. A Taiga deployment runs several services alongside PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ, and the events and protected services must share the back end's secret key. Assess whether your team can own upgrades, backups and restore tests before committing.
Does single sign-on require a paid OpenProject plan?
Yes, OpenProject lists single sign-on with SAML, OpenID Connect, CAS, Kerberos and Okta as an Enterprise feature, and LDAP group synchronization is grouped with it, so the free Community edition does not include these. Because Enterprise on-premises is priced per named user, the identity cost scales with headcount and with the plan tier you need. Confirm which tier includes each protocol you use before you budget, since the pricing page presents them together. For Taiga, the researched facts do not state which identity options the self-hosted edition supports. Ask the vendor in writing, or test the Docker stack against your identity provider before you decide. Request confirmation of supported protocols, group mapping and any licensing tied to your user count.
Should we choose Scrum tooling or Gantt-led planning?
Choose by how your teams plan work. Taiga centers on Scrum backlogs, sprint planning, estimations and burndown charts, plus Kanban boards with swimlanes and WIP limits, which suits delivery teams that run sprints and want a lean backlog. OpenProject's Community edition includes work packages, Gantt charts, agile boards, time tracking and dashboards, which suits organizations that plan across dependencies and milestones. Portfolio and resource management and full baseline comparison sit in OpenProject's Enterprise plans, so price those in if you need them. Run a pilot with one team's actual backlog and one cross-team plan, then measure whether each tool handles both without workarounds. The result tells you more than any feature list.
What hardware and database does each platform need?
OpenProject publishes sizing guidance: 4 cores and 4 GB RAM for up to 200 users, 8 cores and 8 GB for about 500 users, and 16 cores and 16 GB for about 1,500 users. It officially supports PostgreSQL 16 or later since version 16.0.0 and requires the pg_trgm, btree_gist and unaccent extensions. Taiga's production Docker stack needs Docker with Compose, PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ, but the researched facts do not give a sizing table for Taiga. Ask the vendor for memory, CPU and storage guidance tied to your user count, and load test a staging copy before you go live. Also confirm backup frequency, restore time and the upgrade path for your chosen database version, since both depend on how your data grows.
When is it worth bringing in a consultant to deploy either platform?
Bring in outside help when your team lacks the time or skills for the platform's upgrade cadence, or when the migration and identity work carries business or audit risk. DeployOpen plans, implements, customizes, integrates, hardens, backs up, upgrades, documents and supports self-hosted open-source platforms inside your own infrastructure. Most engagements are fixed-scope, with scope, deliverables and timelines agreed in writing before work starts, and ongoing support and upgrades are available as retainers. DeployOpen does not publish a price list, and a quote follows from the written scope. DeployOpen prepares systems and evidence for compliance assessments but does not issue audit reports or certifications. Ask any provider for a written scope covering the migration steps, identity integration, backup restore tests and handover documentation.
How DeployOpen helps teams choose, implement and migrate
DeployOpen plans, implements, integrates, hardens, documents and supports self-hosted open-source platforms inside your own cloud accounts, data centers or air-gapped networks. For OpenProject vs Taiga, that means working from your identity, data and team requirements to a written plan before any installation begins.
