Digital uafhængighed - men hvordan? | DigiTech
Okay, skal vi være enige om at digital uafhængighed er at foretrække? Uden digital uafhængighed risikerer vi at miste herredømmet over vores egen forretning, hvad end dette måtte være. Vi mister simpelthen retten til selv at bestemme, hvordan en given opgave skal udføres.miste herredømmet over leverandørvalget, så vi havner i et reelt leverandør lock-in.
