1.1 Inherent Problems Using SaaS Applications
A lot of users want to use SaaS applications to increase business agility. If the corporation does not provide an easy way for the users to obtain accounts for the SaaS applications, many users might by-pass the IT department and create their own accounts. Figure 1-1 depicts some of the problems that can occur.

Those problems include the following:
-
Users by-pass the IT department and create their own accounts in the SaaS Application.
-
Users must wait for the IT department to create accounts in the SaaS applications. It is a manual process, whether the IT department creates the account or if the user creates the account.
-
Users must remember separate passwords for each SaaS application, and often use their corporate credentials.
-
Administrators receive no compliance reports of user activity in the SaaS application.
