Gain a clear understanding of why Tier 1 vendors are so difficult to control, how SaaS sprawl and shadow IT create hidden risks, and why entitlement data is often a critical blind spot. The episode also introduces the idea of a proactive onboarding framework – showing how consistent, strategic approaches can replace reactive management and bring order to the chaos of vendor relationships.
“All the information is out there: training, best practices, maturity assessments—use them to become a stronger practitioner.” – John Schwartzenberger
