Managing Multiple AI Models and Providers: Standards, Switching Costs and Vendor Risk

As teams adopt different models across platforms and use cases, individual buying decisions can create hidden dependencies, duplicated controls and rising costs. Join senior data and AI leaders to compare how they manage provider portfolios and maintain the ability to switch without major disruption.

Discussion questions:

  • How do organisations decide which model and provider choices require enterprise standards and where teams should retain autonomy?
  • What criteria are used to approve new providers, and how do these vary by use case?
  • How are switching costs assessed, and what commercial, performance or risk triggers would justify changing provider?
