Do you feel stuck with web service providers that lock you into their proprietary systems? Website builders are often easy to use but make it nearly impossible to switch to a competitor without starting from scratch.
While ready-made SaaS solutions offer many benefits, heavy dependencies carry risks: provider bankruptcy, arbitrary account suspensions, or disproportionate price increases that you are forced to accept.
- Risk of service disruptions that block access to your critical business data
- Difficulty switching providers when service quality drops
- Lack of control over subscription costs and data privacy (GDPR)
I identify your technical dependencies, recommend open-source alternatives, help extract your data from closed systems, and evaluate the effort needed to transition to more flexible, independent solutions.
