Leave Big Tech.
They promised tools that would make your business better. They delivered tools that made your business dependent. There is another way.
Thirty years of promises. Then the invoice arrived.
Microsoft 365. Google Workspace. Salesforce. Slack. Zoom. Adobe Creative Cloud. Every month, the invoice arrives. Every year, the price goes up. And somewhere in the fine print, your data — your customers, your conversations, your files — lives on someone else's servers, under someone else's terms.
Most businesses assume there's no alternative. That enterprise software is just the cost of doing business. That the tools they depend on every day are the only tools that exist.
They're wrong.
The repair is simple: software you own,
on infrastructure you control.
Enterprise software has open-source equivalents.
Mature, production-ready tools used by thousands of businesses worldwide.

We handle the hard part.
You don't need to become a sysadmin. That's what we're here for.
Audit
We look at every piece of software your business pays for. We tell you exactly what it costs you per year and what the open-source equivalent is. No jargon, no upsell — just a clear picture.
Plan
We build a migration roadmap — what to switch first, what to run in parallel, what needs custom configuration. We move at your pace. Nothing breaks.
Migrate
We set up the new tools, move your data, and configure everything. Self-hosted on your infrastructure or ours — your choice. We handle DNS, SSL, backups, the works.
Train & Support
Your team gets hands-on training. And we don't disappear — ongoing support means you always have someone to call when you need help.
It adds up faster than you think.
A 25-person company running typical enterprise tools:
Open-source alternatives for all of the above: $0/yr in licensing.
You pay for hosting and our migration services. That's it. No per-seat fees. Ever.
We run what we recommend. We left first.
Digital Disconnections is a self-hosted company. Our website, our email, our chat, our project management, our AI — all of it runs on our own infrastructure. No AWS. No Google Cloud. No Azure. We don't recommend tools we haven't battle-tested ourselves.
We're not just consultants with a slide deck. We're engineers who build and maintain self-hosted infrastructure every day. When we say something works, it's because we're running it right now.
