Open Standards Mega Important
In a networked ecosystem there is the need for end-to-end solutions with pieces of software from different vendors working seamlessly together. Hence, the concept of open standards is generally accepted in industry. To customers, on the other hand, open standards guarantee a high degree of flexibility and choice. Open standards prevent single vendor lock-in by facilitating interoperability.
Standards are why we are able to use a debit card from a bank in Canada to withdraw cash from a machine in South Africa, share a photo from a Samsung phone to an Apple laptop, buy light bulbs that fit reading lamps and ceiling fans, and access the Internet.
