The document discusses shadow IT and how Gravitant addresses its challenges. It describes how shadow IT occurs due to desires for rapid innovation, agile methodologies, and business involvement in IT decisions. This creates challenges around asset accountability, operations management, spending controls, and data security. Gravitant's solution is to act as an IT broker, providing a self-service store and centralized management of all IT assets to give users choice while limiting risks and burden on IT departments and businesses.
