Re: Standardization and coordination to prevent lock-in
The only 30 year contract I would ever sign is for a house and even then I would rather not if I had the option.

Re: Standardization and coordination to prevent lock-in
@JohnBarnes  The Oracle 30-year contract seems a bit excessive. Works out well for Oracle's bottom line, but not so much for the clients' needs maybe. I don't think any company would want to be locked into one vendor for that long. Moving to the cloud should be open-source, and, as you pointed out, not locked into proprietary stuff.

Standardization and coordination to prevent lock-in
Davis is right that not many people saw it coming, but now it's essential: clouds with coordinated standards can't lock clients in, so that becomes an essential selling point for them.  It's sort of a virtuous circle of disarmament; the vendor that provides the least required proprietary stuff becomes the most attractive one to stay with, and the best way to compete in that arena is to be the most open out of all the competitors.
