Paying $500K+ Annually for Enterprise Software You Could Replace for Free?

Does this sound familiar?

❌ Price Hostage

Your vendor just announced a massive price increase. You can't negotiate because they know you can't leave. Your entire business runs on their proprietary system.

Your critical vendor got acquired. New owner is pivoting away from your use case. Or worse—shutting down your product line entirely. And you have zero alternatives ready.

You know you should have options, but migration would take 18+ months you don't have. Your team doesn't know where to start. And you can't afford to break production.

❌ Acquisition Risk

❌ No Exit Strategy

Three proven pathways to vendor independence - without disrupting your business

Who We've Helped

Led by Dr. Shallon Brown

I help companies break free from vendor lock-in—without the 18-month nightmare migrations that most teams fear.

With 22+ years leading technical transformations across healthcare, fintech, and government, I've guided organizations through complete open source migrations while maintaining zero production outages. My approach combines deep technical expertise (Drupal, .NET, Java, cloud architecture) with the strategic thinking needed to negotiate from strength, not desperation.

The results speak for themselves: $1.2M average annual savings from vendor independence strategies, 50,000+ pages migrated with 100% QA approval, and 67% productivity improvements post-migration. I've worked with everyone from startups to public companies like Sony and Accenture, helping them build optionality before crisis forces their hand.

Most importantly, I don't just plan your escape route—I build it with you. Because the companies that wait until their vendor announces a 40% price increase? They negotiate from weakness. My clients negotiate from power.
