The digital age has brought with it a profusion of technologies and information systems that have transformed the way we work. However, this technological effervescence can sometimes lead to an increasingly worrying phenomenon known as " Shadow IT "or phantom computing.
What is Shadow IT?
Visit Shadow IT refers to the use of information systems, applications and services without the approval of the company's IT department.
This practice may be the result of a users' desire to increase productivity or overcome the limitations of existing systems.
According to an infographic published by Talkspirit website more 80% of employees admit to using IT solutions without formal approval from their IT department
However, while it may bring a certain agility in the short term, it comes with a number of risks.
The consequences of Shadow IT
Shadow IT can have significant consequences for organizations.
Firstly, it reduces the IT department's visibility of the systems and data used within the company, which can lead to inefficient resource management.
