Join #teamTim and John Harden on Webinar session Date:14
If you’ve been on the conference floor in the past few years, you’ve probably heard about tools that can help wrangle your shadow IT. In this discussion with John Harden, and Team Tim, we’ll dig into some real-world scenarios that MSPs have faced with shadow IT, how they’ve remediated it, and how it impacted their relationship with their customer.
SaaS sprawl and shadow IT continue to plague organizations of every size. With Gartner projecting the average business having to wrangle 125 SaaS applications, of which 40% of IT spend is shadow IT, it is clear that this problem has escalated. The hybrid workforce, COVID-driven digital transformation, and the availability of more dangerous shadow IT, such as generative AI tools, have exacerbated the problem and driven the need for IT to respond.
Join John as he not only overviews the challenge but tactical solutions to the problem you can introduce into your organization today. John will provide best-in-class MSP tips on how you can review shadow IT with your customer tactically to drive the discussion in a positive light.
During this webinar, we are joined by John Harden where will will discuss SaaS Shadow IT in my clients. Why should I care? What can I do?
