At Yotech, our clients' digital independence is not just a topic of discussion: it is our raison d'être.

We share Framasoft's vision, which advocates for ethical, open and truly empowering tools.

Digital dependency: a costly blind spot

Arguments such as "everyone uses it" are heard all too often. However, when we take a step back, several key questions need to be asked.:

• Why are we in Europe still so heavily dependent on American solutions?
• Why does the French government continue to equip almost all of its administrative workstations with Microsoft licences, both for operating the system and for the office suite?

These historical choices, rarely questioned, create a dependency whose financial and strategic costs are considerable.

When the economy calls for in-depth reflection

In a context where we are talking about €1 trillion in debt, it is becoming urgent to assess the real cost of our digital dependence and the long-term unsustainability of models based on centralised software subscriptions.

Let us rethink our choices through three key areas :

• Sovereignty: regaining control over the technologies used.
• Interoperability: avoiding proprietary lock-in and hidden dependencies.
• Economic sustainability: prioritising sustainable, scalable and transparent solutions.

Sovereign solutions already exist

At Yotech, we support local authorities and organisations in creating sovereign and controlled digital environments.

We rely on reliable and widely adopted technologies :

• F
• OnlyOffice for the office suite
• Nextcloud for secure file and communication management
• Odoo for a comprehensive, flexible, and sovereign ERP

These open source solutions enable greater independence, better data control, and sustainable cost reduction.
