Solutions · Vendor independence
Make every platform easy to leave
Vendor independence means decoupling collection from destinations, so changing a SIEM or APM is a routing change instead of a rebuild, and every renewal is negotiated from strength.
01The problem
What this actually fixes
When collection is wired directly into one platform, the skills, queries, and parsers your team builds stay locked to it. When renewal economics shift, and on a typical Splunk contract the annual uplift alone runs around 9%, the alternative is a multi-month project to rebuild collection from the ground up, which is exactly what the renewal price is counting on.
The tools you pay the most for should be the easiest ones to leave.
02The work
What independence looks like in practice
- One collection layer routes to many destinations at once, including your current platforms and candidate replacements.
- Data normalizes to open schemas in the pipeline, so it arrives ready for whichever platform you choose.
- Full-fidelity history lands in storage you own and replays into any destination, so no platform holds your past hostage.
- A candidate platform runs in parallel on live data before any commitment, and the evaluation is evidence rather than a demo.
Independence is not about leaving. Most estates keep their platforms and simply stop being priced like captives, because both sides know the exit is a routing change.
