Episode notes

Episode 104 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo dives into a hidden clause in enterprise software contracts: data portability. Lucas and Luna unpack why Fortune 500 procurement teams now demand machine-readable, structured data exports as a standard term - not just a courtesy. They walk through the real case of a global retailer that paid $12 million in engineering costs to move 14 petabytes of transaction history out of a legacy CRM, because the vendor's 'standard export' was a series of PDFs. The conversation covers how data portability intersects with cloud exit fees, vendor lock-in, and GDPR Article 20, plus practical negotiating tactics like defining schema, frequency, and format in the master services agreement. No jargon, no fluff - just the specific contractual language that saves companies millions when they switch platforms. #DataPortability #EnterpriseSoftware #VendorLockIn #Procurement #Fortune500 #CloudExit #GDPR #SaaS #DataMigration #ContractNegotiation #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EnterpriseTech #VendorNegotiation #DataGovernance #CRM #SoftwareLicensing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
