A1: #SaaS sprawl is not necessarily bad and it could actually be a good strategy. It's bad when it happens outside IT strategy and oversight. #CIO #CIO Chat

Rodrigo Gazzaneo I also find #SaaS can be an important for internal app competition, forcing #innovation when it wouldn't otherwise happen with #IT .

It also causes app fragmentation, such as when each sales group has their own favorite #CRM .

Choice is here. It's about managing.

Rodrigo Gazzaneo +100. I'm also much more cloud #ERP . Making it possible for a lot of new ERP vendors to emerge.

Firms that M&A a lot are starting to accumulate a much higher rate of differentiated ERP apps now.

A #CIO I recently spoke to had 33 ERPs systems. A new high water mark.
