Today’s business challenges are unprecedented. Companies are dealing with an explosion of data and applications. IT environments are complex and acquisitions of longtime vendors are having the C-suite rethink their install base.

Meanwhile, shadow IT is swiping credit cards simply to get work done which exacerbates the challenge. Lack of flexibility and choice lead business units to solve their problems the best way they can. Unfortunately, some decisions are not easy to change once applications are up and running.
