ITFARGA ANSWERS

How do I avoid permanent vendor lock-in?

Require access to domain, hosting, repositories, exports, documentation and credentials. Clarify licences and exit formats before starting, not when the relationship ends.

The direct answer

Require access to domain, hosting, repositories, exports, documentation and credentials. Clarify licences and exit formats before starting, not when the relationship ends.

What changes the scope

The visible size of a project is only one factor. Users, permissions, data quality, integrations, available content, security, testing and long-term ownership also change the scope.

How ITFARGA assesses it

We first define the result and real constraints. We then separate mandatory requirements, assumptions, risks and optional improvements. This allows us to recommend a website, an existing product, automation or custom development.

What to request before hiring

Ask for written scope, verifiable deliverables, responsibilities, acceptance criteria, recurring costs, ownership, licences, support and exit conditions. A clear proposal prevents a low initial price from hiding later dependencies.

Related questions

Does ITFARGA offer fixed pricing?

When scope and dependencies are sufficiently clear, phases and deliverables can be fixed. Remaining uncertainty is identified separately.

Can I start with a small phase?

Yes. It is usually safer to validate the highest-value or highest-risk part before expanding the project.

Will I receive documentation?

The documentation required to operate, maintain or transfer the result should be included in the agreed scope.
