This can stifle innovation, limit flexibility, and increase risks associated with service continuity and pricing. Experts at Nexus Labs, who focus on accelerating the transition to digital and decarbonized buildings, strongly advocate for minimizing vendor lock-in to help businesses stay competitive and adaptable in a rapidly changing market.
