Problem Facing IT

But that’s not right, why are users doing this?
Shadow IT fills the gap created by unstable
demand and stable or declining IT productive
capacity. Greater control will not close that gap.
Greater capacity, productivity and throughput from
within IT is the only sustainable solution.
-Mark P. McDonald, GVP & Gartner Fellow, Gartner

Possible Impact of Unauthorized Public Cloud Usage
Shadow IT groups serve a useful purpose, cutting
short the time between making a request of IT and
getting the answer (especially for a data extract or a
few reports). But they also undercut good
governance, reducing operational efficiencies,
creating avoidable expenses and increasing exposure
to risk.

But we don’t have sensitive data
For the CIO, shadow IT can turn into quite a headache, but it
can also mean cost and complications for the whole
organisation. For the CIO it means someone in the
organisation is spending money on IT, and it's not them, which
is never a good sign, especially if it implies the business unit
doesn't see the IT department as capable of delivering the IT
they need to time or budget.
-Steve Ranger, UK editor of TechRepublic

So what do we do?
• Decrease the time it takes for a machine to be delivered to an end
user
• Allow users to go to the public cloud easily, without putting down a
credit card, but control it with policy
• Slowly pull back resources that don’t make sense to be in the public
cloud
