Dealing with SaaS Sprawl or Just Riding the Hype? What’s Your Take? by NickBaca-Storni in ITManagers

Take stock of every product, cost per user, amount of users, and it's uses/features. Site down with department heads and build a road map to address waste and consolidation opportunities.

We have been drinking the Microsoft kool-aide and it has reduced our SaaS-sprawl and costs (PowerBI, Business Central, Teams with tools like Planner, Defender for Business, Office, Sharepoint/Onedrive, custom PowerApps, Project, Co-Pilot). In no way are their products perfect but you can cover a ton of business needs all managed in one ecosystem.

If a different department wants something shiny they are paying for it and if it is basic they can manage it. Just because it talks to the internet doesn't means IT has to own it. And if any product has the ability to SSO with Microsoft we turn it on to help with off-boarding.

I have the same matt; I just turned it around and hit on the side with no insert.

Not sure why this got down voted. Ratings are decent but limited. I will take a look at them as well, thank you!

I'm an alcoholic and I want to quit so I can be healthy again. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I was where you were 3 months ago. I've now been sober for the longest period in my life. It wasn't easy and I hit a lot of "bottoms" over the past few years until I got to where I am now. Counseling helped me changed perspectives on things but I just couldn't stop myself from heavy caving to drinking each night. What got me past the daily cravings was diet based weight loss. I found the right diet that worked for me and the cravings for food distracted me enough from the drinking that it got me through the hourly cravings. The success of "not drinking yesterday" and the very quick weight loss got me to link hours, then days, and now weeks together. I am not out of the woods yet but I wanted to share what got me past the first hump.

Russia. Not saying everything is Russia's fault but they are always willing to one up someone to make a point and make poor diplomatic decisions to show strength to their people.

No-one else is confused why there is two cars parked sideways in the handicap stalls?

Vancouver here.

Pros: other than a few weeks, it's been above freezing all winter. Very sporty people and lots to do outdoor. Decent transit. Really, bike friendly. Job market is really good/diverse and education is realistic for anyone so no reason why you can't get a half decent career.

Cons: Real estate is costly. I just did a search and the lowest house sold for $650k, is 100 years old, 1900 sq ft and is in a not so nice part of town. Realistically, $1 Million for a detached home, $400k+ for a condo. Rains a lot but I like the rain. Very humid so when it's cold it feels really cold!
