Cloud - Concept
SaaS sprawl
Having so many cloud applications that cost, access, ownership and data become difficult to control
What's it for?
Highlights the cost and control problems that arise when an organisation accumulates too many online applications.
For example…
Three teams each buy a different project tool; finance later finds overlapping licences and orphaned accounts after people leave
Different departments separately buy twelve survey, file-sharing and workflow tools, creating SaaS sprawl with duplicate licences and poorly tracked accounts
Think of it like…
Everyone in a house subscribing to a different streaming service—lots of small bills, no shared watchlist
