I run multiple organizations just fine without any third party proprietary SaaS like those provided by Salesforce, Google, Apple, etc.
It is crazy to me so few realize it is really not much, if at all, harder to run a business without involving US surveillance capitalism corporations.
Tools like Nextcloud, Matrix, Jitsi, have turn-key SaaS providers or you can self-host them easily as well. Same for many many analytics solutions.
I honestly think every company would be better off having more sovereignty in their tech stacks and data, and it is much better for consumers who may not realize they are -also- sharing their data with third parties like Google who use it sell targeted behavior changes to the highest bidder.
