What we work with — and what is replaceable.
Every tool with its role, data location and the answer to what happens if you replace us. No lock-in is a promise that must be verifiable.
| Area | Tool | Role | Data location | Replaceable by |

| RMM, patching, remote access | RMM-Plattform | Agent on every device: monitoring, patch distribution, automations, remote access | EU instance | any RMM |

Principles
Four rules for selection.
01
Data location
Anything containing client data lives in Germany or the EU. Every tool states where.
02
Replaceability
For every tool we state what happens if you replace us: export, open format or an equivalent product.
03
Existing kit first
Firewall, virtualisation, directory: we run what you have. Our standard applies to new purchases.
04
No forced Microsoft world
Defender, Intune and Entra ID are building blocks where present — Wazuh, Proxmox and Cloudflare work without them.
