Reduce Vendor Lock-In

I analyze your technical dependencies and help you regain control over your data and systems.

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.
