Patchwork workplace report

Technology is evolving quickly, and companies have been playing catch-up for years. The pandemic and the resulting shift to remote work only exacerbated and intensified the need for streamlined and centralized technology solutions.

Now that hybrid and remote work are here to stay, IT teams at most companies must contend with increasingly cumbersome “patchwork” tech stacks of multi-vendor or disparate solutions that complicate digital work.

And patchwork systems aren’t just an IT issue. They have broad implications for users at every level, impeding everything from communications to productivity to data security. Combined, these symptoms are severe enough to impact organizations’ ability to achieve business goals — and as a result, remain competitive.

Companies know they need to act, and most are already taking steps to streamline systems and eliminate patchwork elements from their tech stacks. But some of their efforts may be misdirected.

In this report, you’ll learn what we found from surveying 500 IT leaders about patchwork systems and how these tech stacks are holding them back.
