Not only does it create high costs and security risks, it also undermines the benefits of centralised enterprise solutions. <\/p>\n<p>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 &#8216;number one planning tool&#8217; is a symptom of the problem, and how you can find a sustainable solution by strategically optimising your IT systems.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-formComponent-modal js-hbspt-form\"><h3>Download Paper<\/h3><script
