@tessarakt@mastodon.social @krupo@infosec.exchange @pluralistic@mamot.fr DATEV does the same stuff any big cooperate does. Rent instead of buy your software. Put everything in an US cloud. If you want to leave, to bad. Pay to export your data in a format no other tool can read, because they never released the specs. Edit: For some reason the "critic" section is only present in the German version of Wikipedia. Yes, it is a cooperation of accountant companies, but that does not automatically makes them ethical and open. The already fought and lost one anti-monopoly / price gauging lawsuit. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DATEV#Kritik
