Research reviewed 22 October 2026 · Evidence and editorial planning guidance are distinguished below.
Choose the investment and accept the residual risk
Treat the provider exit as a continuity deadline with security conditions. Assign a decision maker who can resolve scope and spending quickly without accepting unverifiable data or recycled credentials. Include an exit capability in the next supplier decision.
Your immediate priorities
- Approve resources for clean rebuilding, data validation and temporary manual operations.
- Require a dated migration plan tied to the provider’s confirmed shutdown milestones.
How to work through the decision
Compare the cost of interruption, response and sustained improvement separately. Use your actual trading volumes, staff costs and contractual commitments; this report supplies no universal loss estimate. Identify who can approve emergency spending and who can accept a temporary exception. A supplier change should have measurable acceptance criteria, retained responsibilities and an exit route, rather than an assumption that a brand eliminates risk.
Evidence to ask for
A funded exit decision with contingency capacity and named acceptance authority.
Can we continue trading if the old provider becomes unavailable before our preferred migration date?
Work with the next person
Give the business manager a clear continuity priority, spending authority and escalation threshold. Ask for unresolved decisions and evidence gaps, not only a red, amber or green status.

A scenario to rehearse
Illustrative exercise, not an observed customer incident: An application is moved successfully, but its scheduled invoice export remains on the old platform. The exercise uses a full business-day rehearsal to discover missing work before the provider shutdown.
What a useful outcome looks like
A funded exit decision with contingency capacity and named acceptance authority. Keep the decision dated and return to it if new evidence changes the scope.
