White paper for decision-makers · Free

What big software vendors won’t tell you.

„If we go with the big, well-known office or marketing software vendors, we’re safe.“ This white paper shows why that assumption can have catastrophic consequences for your business. You’ll read 12 documented cases that prove those existential risks — and how to contain them in your own company.

The facts on the table

Independence matters. For every business.

Maybe this sounds familiar ... You pay every month for software you’re only allowed to use as long as you accept a handful of large vendors’ terms? You rely on that software running flawlessly? And you assume the big software vendors are simply the best choice for you? Then this white paper is exactly right for you.

Using documented real-world cases, this white paper shows you what happens when that dependence bites, what it costs on the bottom line, and which independent architecture would have prevented the damage. No theories — facts, primary sources, and a calculable counter-model for your IT strategy.
