Do you keep a toolbox at home? Is it stuffed with tools for every possible task? When it comes to finding the one you need, how quickly do you find it, and how well are you maintaining your collection? These challenges are the same in enterprise technology, where a new survey from Apple MDM vendor Kandji tells us people are spending way too much time managing way too many tools.
Too much (time) pressure
If you stop to consider it, the enterprise technology ecosystem is fractured, with tools for every imaginable task. Your company may have chosen to deploy or support dozens of these things, handling everything from BOSS to B2C functions and everything in between. AI tools are just the latest example of the need to manage tech to enter the fray.
Each of these tools needs to be understood, managed, maintained, all of which takes time — a lot of time, according to Kandji’s latest report. If your company chooses to deploy dozens of these systems, you should also consider the consequential costs of doing so.
