How can I use it?
Volant is open source and you can use or modify it for free. If you need some help to set it up, think about some adjustment or just wonder if it fits your organization, drop me a line.
Otherwise, install it on premise from the Github repo. It should not be very hard if know your way around Ruby on Rails, web applications or just Linux in general. Good luck!
