Legacy Connector Lock-In

Legacy Connector Lock-In is the situation where an organization becomes operationally dependent on non-standard application-specific integration paths.

Definition

Legacy Connector Lock-In occurs when onboarding choices rely so heavily on application-specific connectors or database-level integration that future migration becomes harder. Instead of simplifying the IAM estate over time, the organization accumulates dependencies on brittle technical paths.

The Ariovis perspective

Native capabilities and standard interfaces should be used before bespoke development. Custom work is justified only after its operational and maintenance impact has been qualified.
