Do any of these feel familiar?

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace have become dependencies that are hard to challenge. But their effects are felt every year.

📈
"The bill went up 25% again"

Microsoft raised prices in 2024. You pay. The next increase is already announced. You cannot negotiate.

🌍
Your data feeds their AI models

Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 terms allow your content to be used to train their AI systems.

🔒
"We can't migrate — it's too risky"

You've thought it. Your teams have said it. And all the while, the dependency has grown stronger every year.

🧩
A Microsoft outage and the whole organisation stops

The Windows/Azure/M365 incidents of 2023–2025 proved it: total dependency on a single vendor is a major operational risk.

⚖️
The DPO raises the GDPR issue

Cloud Act, FISA Section 702 — your emails, files and client contracts are accessible to US intelligence agencies. Legally. Without notice. Confirmed under oath by Microsoft's legal director.

💸
Every new hire = another licence

You no longer control your productivity budget. It grows automatically with your headcount, pegged to the vendor's decisions.

These situations do not come from poor management. They come from a structural dependency on players who have no interest in making your life easier. Kooperation is the way out — gradual, uninterrupted, supported.

How it plays out in practice

Situations we regularly encounter when supporting our clients.

1
The Microsoft 365 bill increases by 25%. The CEO pays, with no alternative. The next increase is already announced.
IT budget locked for 3 years with Ekioo. No unilateral increase possible. The CEO knows exactly what they will pay in 2027.
2
The CISO at a mid-size company raises the Cloud Act issue in the executive committee. The meeting ends without a decision — no credible alternative exists.
Progressive migration to Kooperation: email first (month 1), then storage (month 2), then video. The CISO has documented compliance evidence.
3
A local authority uses Google Workspace for municipal email. The French data protection authority has documented the risk. The migration has been pending for 18 months.
