But even that may not be sufficient.

Oftentimes, even if you get a complete database-dump with all your data in it in a timely fashion and for a reasonable cost, it can still be cost-ineffective to swap vendors.

Massaging data from one format to another ain't free. Under many circumstances it's completely cost-prohibitive.

I'm offering clients a solution they could not afford themselves. For them to do this in-house is prohibitive.
