Can Telecom AI Agents Be Portable? The Architecture Choices That Create Vendor Lock-In

Can Telecom AI Agents Be Portable? The Architecture Choices That Create Vendor Lock-In

Tech News & Insight
AI agent vendor lock-in isn’t determined by which language model powers the agent, that layer is increasingly commoditised. It’s determined by three architectural choices made well below the model layer: how the business context layer is stored, whether system integrations use open standards, and how portable the orchestration logic actually is. This guide sets out a practical checklist for evaluating agent portability before committing to a platform, not after.
