As the availability of on-demand SaaS products has exploded across a broad range of business activities, SaaS products have often been selected and procured for business units or users without the involvement and central management of IT teams. The unfortunate side effect of this practice is that many businesses find themselves in a position where information becomes siloed, and intra-organisational transparency is limited is any.
When business units are operating without seeing the overall picture, it stifles productivity and cross-functional collaboration, leading to wastage of valuable resources. Inevitably, this impacts the business as a whole to reach its strategic goals.
While business leaders must ensure that their organisation’s systems are current, relevant and fit for purpose, at the same time, it is vital to extract the maximum value from existing legacy systems.
