Escape Proprietary Cloud: NZ SME Guide

Your cloud bill keeps growing. You can’t leave. We fix this.

The Problem for NZ Firms

Big cloud firms lock you in. They hike prices each year.

Joe’s Cafe in Auckland paid double. They couldn’t move their data.

What This Means

You’re stuck with one vendor. They set the price.

It’s like a bad phone plan. You can’t switch providers.

Key Point: NZ firms waste $50k per year on locked-in cloud

Why Kiwis Should Care

Your data must stay in NZ. Offshore clouds break NZ law.

Auckland firms need local control. Privacy Act demands it.

The Fix

Open cloud gives you freedom. You control where data goes.

Use NZ cloud hosts. Pay less. Keep data local.

  3. Find NZ Hosts – Call Spark, Vodafone, local AWS.
  4. Move One App – Start small. Test it works.
