Breaking free from vendor lock-in: A framework for seamless hardware transitions

Contributing experts

Scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness are the foundation of modern hardware and software development. Building that foundation, however, is increasingly difficult due to vendor lock-in. Hardware vendors offer proprietary SDKs, tools, and APIs to streamline software development. When development teams change vendors, they often encounter vendor-specific dependencies, which can be complex and expensive to detangle.  

Why it matters: Agility is key to market competitiveness, and companies must be able to switch vendors as needed to improve performance, power consumption, and cost savings in their products. Adopting a vendor-agnostic approach to software development is key to avoiding vendor lock-in.  

What you’ll learn in the white paper: 

  • Shortcomings of single vendor ecosystems. 
  • The hidden costs of vendor lock-in. 
  • What keeps companies from breaking the cycle of vendor lock-in.  
  • How to implement a vendor-agnostic development approach with HTEC’s embedded software framework.
