I am still struggling with this. I am trying to build a proof-of-concept setup as part of a larger deployment. We have a lot of objectives and we think Freman can accomplish, but there is a lot we haven't been able to make work.

Does anyone know of a company that specializes in Foreman integration and deployment?
