Tech sprawl refers to the uncontrolled expansion or proliferation of technological tools, platforms, systems, and solutions within an organization. Find out what the impacts of tech sprawl can be and how to get it under control.
As companies grow, merge, and digitally transform, their technology footprint expands, often leading to redundancy and inefficiency. According to Forrester's Q2 2024 Tech Pulse Survey, a staggering 77% of US technology decision-makers report moderate to extensive levels of technology sprawl. This sprawl can result in unsustainable costs, slower IT delivery, reduced operational resilience, and increased security risks.
