What started as a flexible open-source CMDB has evolved into a platform that now also covers ISMS, automation, reporting, an AI-powered document generator, IPAM, and a visual CI explorer. We owe this development in no small part to the community: your feedback, your requests, and your trust.  <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, we have to be honest. Developing, maintaining, testing, and documenting a platform of this complexity is work that is done by people\u2014by a team that needs to be able to make a living from it. So far, we\u2019ve made nearly the entire feature set freely available. That was a deliberate decision aimed at establishing DataGerry\u2019s broad appeal. However, it has also meant that the professional development of the platform isn\u2019t being sufficiently supported financially.    <\/p>\n<p>If we want to continue improving DataGerry&#8217;s quality over the long term to meet your expectations, we need a sustainable model.
