|With increased reliance on commercial cloud services comes increased fears of risking technical lock-in. This fear, however, can unjustly lead organisations to ?? the opportuntity gained from platforms services that offer a lower operational burden, increase cost control, and short lead times. ???
|As the GC becomes increasingly reliant on commercially provided services, the risk of lock-in
weighs on the minds of departments. However, It is important to have a balanced
perspective and properly weigh the risk of lock-in against the opportunities gained when
using as-a-service models. <br>
Information Technology has increasingly become commoditized. as-a-Service models and
public cloud are at the forefront of this commoditization. Using these services to modernize
application portfolios and at-risk technologies involves increasing reliance on private sector
providers. This brings with it the fear of lock-in. Lock-in is not unique to cloud, for years the
GC has been managing the exit strategy from a variety of technologies such as mainframe,
data centres, operating systems, databases, and Enterprise Resource Planning systems to
name a few. As this guide will show, the decision to commit to a technology and when to exit
cannot be driven by fear and risk alone, but must be weighed against the opportunity gained.
