From Sprawl to Control: Reclaiming IT Visibility in an Evolving Tech Landscape

Rising IT spend, SaaS sprawl, and limited visibility across cloud, on‑prem, and emerging technologies are leaving many organizations exposed to unnecessary cost and risk. According to the 2026 State of ITAM report, complete IT visibility has sunk to just 36%, and 85% of IT leaders say gaps in technology visibility pose a significant risk to their organization. Shadow IT and SaaS sprawl only compound the issue further.

Yet without a clear, unified view of what’s being deployed, used and needed, IT leaders are making critical financial and operational decisions without reliable data – which, in turn, is driving overspend, audit exposure, and missed opportunities to optimize and reinvest. AI is accelerating these challenges, but the core issue remains the same: a lack of control across the hybrid IT estate.

Those who don’t act risk falling behind leaders who are already improving cost efficiency and decision-making. So how do you build a shared, trusted view across ITAM, FinOps and the broader technology landscape in order to proactively manage cost, eliminate waste and strengthen governance?

Join Flexera and KPMG, alongside a handpicked group of your peers, to find out how leaders are gaining visibility and control across their entire IT estate, and why having this foundation is becoming essential to staying competitive in an ever-evolving space.
