What is Vendor lock-in?
Vendor lock-in means switching providers is difficult because of proprietary data or contracts; multi-cloud and open standards help. For small and mid-sized businesses in the Netherlands, this is not about buzzwords but about real control over data, users and processes.
Link Vendor lock-in to clear goals such as compliance, scalability or cost control. That way, the technology keeps supporting your business strategy.
When does Vendor lock-in matter most?
- During cloud or workplace migrations, when security and governance need to be tightly organised.
- During rapid growth, mergers or acquisitions, when processes and identities need to be managed centrally.
- When you need 24/7 availability and demonstrable compliance for audits or customers.
