Classification of the certificate
Technological dependencies often arise due to proprietary interfaces and platforms. This makes switching providers difficult and often very cost-intensive.
By using open standards and open source software, you reduce these dependencies. You gain more flexibility, increase the interoperability of your systems and retain control over your technological development.

- You keep your infrastructure flexible and interchangeable
- You enable interoperability between different cloud environments
