ShadowIT is the result of users needing to fulfill their tasks under day to day pressure and stress and where the internal systems don’t support them.It doesn’t matter if you have installed the very best system and most advanced secure communication “rooms” if it’s too difficult to use or takes too long to set it up. If, for instance, the procurement department need to send specs to potential suppliers they cannot go through a week long process of having the IT department administrate setup, invites and user credentials.
