The Challenges of SaaS Sprawl
Many organizations face the issue of SaaS sprawl, where they end up using a vast number of software applications that become difficult to manage. One alarming example discussed is a company that had 700 different SaaS applications connected to its accounts, highlighting how spiraling costs can occur.
