OpenFrame PSA is a comprehensive Professional Services Automation platform that unifies IT service management, project automation, and client operations. Built on a microservices architecture, it gives MSPs (Managed Service Providers) and internal IT teams a single platform for service delivery, automation, resource management, and client operations. The platform operates as an orchestration layer that brings together OpenFrame RMM (ticketing), MeshCentral (remote access), Fleet MDM (mobile device management), and Authentik (SSO/IAM) into one cohesive system. Key capabilities include unified ticket management with AI-powered routing, SLA management, multi-tenant architecture, integrated RMM and remote access, policy-based automation, comprehensive billing, a client self-service portal, and complete audit trails. Deployment is flexible across SaaS, private cloud, on-premises, and hybrid, with zero per-technician licensing fees. OpenFrame PSA delivers enterprise PSA capabilities with 60-80% cost savings versus commercial alternatives like ConnectWise, while keeping deployment fully self-hosted for unlimited customization and data control.
