How dependent is your organization on individual IT vendors?

Digital sovereignty begins with transparency. Do you know where the software you use is developed? Who stands behind the vendor? Which licensing model applies? And what happens if that solution is suddenly no longer available?

We support you in conducting a comprehensive assessment of your IT landscape — with a clear focus on technological independence and data sovereignty.

Baseline Assessment – Reviewing Software Origins

• In which country is the software developed?
• Who owns or controls the vendor?
• What licensing models apply?
• Open source or proprietary?
• Can the source code be audited?
• Where is your data processed and stored?

We go beyond a simple data map. Our focus is not only on where your data resides, but also on the underlying software and the overall resilience of your IT environment.

Evaluating Framework Conditions and Risks

• Legal and regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR or national data protection laws)
• Geopolitical dependencies
• Vendor lock-in risks
• Long-term support and future viability
• Availability of Swiss or EU-based alternatives

We assess both technical and strategic dimensions to determine what is appropriate for your organization — today and in the future.

Reviewing Architecture and Exit Capability
Are your data and systems transferable to alternative solutions, or are they effectively locked in? Can data be exported in open formats? Are standardized interfaces available? What is the migration effort?
What happens if a solution is discontinued? Data sovereignty becomes tangible when you have:

• Open, standardized file formats
• Interoperability
• Data portability
• The ability to migrate to alternative systems

We answer these questions realistically, so you can clearly understand how independent your organization truly is — and which concrete steps are required to achieve sustainable digital sovereignty.

Developing Practical Options
Based on the analysis, we examine alternatives from Switzerland or the EU, open-source solutions, a gradual transition to Linux, or hybrid strategies.
Because not every solution has to be replaced immediately. The key is to know where action is needed and to apply the right criteria when making new purchases.

Supporting Implementation

We plan concrete measures and support you during migration, the introduction of new systems, the licensing strategy, open-source integration, and the reduction of vendor dependencies.

The goal: A broadly supported IT environment that ensures security, independence, and sovereignty — with your data and the right software.
