Freedom from the Ecosystem Trap: Why Lock-In Is the New Vendor Risk

Cloud providers used to compete on features. Now they compete on captivity. Proprietary APIs, costly egress fees, and closed ecosystems keep customers trapped — even when better solutions exist.

 

The Hidden Risk of “Integration”

 

What sounds like convenience often becomes control. Each new managed service deepens dependency, making it harder to migrate, modernize, or cut costs. The longer you stay, the higher the price of freedom becomes.

 

Independence Is the New Differentiator

 

Smart IT leaders are pushing back. They want interoperability, portability, and the right to move without penalties. Vendor freedom is no longer a luxury — it’s a requirement.
