10/2015

Everything today is consumer-driven be it a customer or a consumer group; therefore, enterprises are faced with a barrage of challenges in fully meeting customers’ requirements. This white paper will give you a recap of what shadow IT really means followed by a reference architecture that’s needed for an enterprise to move from shadow IT to empowered IT. It will also take you through a roadmap on how you could get there in terms of best practices and technology that can be adopted by the enterprise. The paper will examine how an enterprise can overcome the challenges of shadow IT initiatives and take advantage of cloud-enabled application life-cycle management (ALM) frameworks to manage, govern, and empower IT teams.
