Whitepaper
Isolated Solutions and Excel Jungle – Welcome to the World of Shadow IT
Shadow IT poses significant challenges for organisations. Not only does it create high costs and security risks, it also undermines the benefits of centralised enterprise solutions.
This whitepaper examines the emergence of shadow IT, particularly in the area of project and portfolio management. It analyses how a lack of IT staff and inadequate tools lead to employees using software and applications independently and without IT approval. Find out what risks shadow IT poses, why Excel as the ‘number one planning tool’ is a symptom of the problem, and how you can find a sustainable solution by strategically optimising your IT systems.
