#CIOChat Q2 What are the major business impacts of SaaS sprawl? Does it make it harder for CIOs to promise performance? Poor business integration?
@MylesSuer #CIOChat A2: 1) loss of control over data quality and pipelines; 2) security 3) sustainability 4) inability to use GENAI or any AI effectively without substantial risk and cost. #CIOs can't promise quality, or project delivery over something they can't control.
@joannefriedman @MylesSuer Ooooh, I forgot security again. Plenty of barns are missing their horses already but when there are other barns to go to you may not know where that horse got to and who is riding it now... #CIOChat
@jimcrussell @joannefriedman @MylesSuer Yes, good catch. Although almost all enterprises have lengthy security reviews for #SaaS these days. Unfortunately, this process is usually skipped entirely in the case of departmental #SaaS or #ShadowIT. #cioChat #cio #ciso #cybersecurity
@dhinchcliffe @jimcrussell @MylesSuer A client's auditors recently asked me so how do we tell our client of the 124 SaaS apps they have, that >30% would not be security compliant, and 2 of those are #SaaS for security.... (good thing there's mute...b/c I roared with laughter.
