Standardization in tech is addressed by first establishing and adopting industry-wide protocols, specifications, and best practices (like APIs, data formats, and security frameworks) to ensure compatibility and interoperability. This requires collaboration through consortiums, open-source projects, and governance bodies to agree on common standards that balance innovation with stability. Finally, it must be supported by integrated tooling, consistent documentation, and organizational mandates to ensure adherence and reduce fragmentation across teams and systems.
