When your build gets to be “millions per month”, you are already locked in. Any migrations is going to be a painful multi year progress. “Infrastructure has weight”.

Have you been part of an integration with a health care system? They are so tightly locked in to their existing EMR/EHR system it would make you cry. Every third party vendor that comes along has to integrate with it.

Part of the work I did at the company that I mentioned where I was a dev lead involved migrating our company from Workday. Their entire process was integrated into it.

You're definitely locked in at some level, but if you are able and even demonstrate the ability to swing 30% of your workload over to another provider in a quarter, you're going to maintain some leverage.

Yes, have worked in healthcare on and off over the past 20 years and know precisely of what you speak. That's a different situation IMHO, same with ERP/HR/etc.
