NINTEX SURVEY FINDS AUSTRALIAN IT LEADERS EMBRACE AI AS SAAS SPRAWL UNDERMINES PRODUCTIVITY
A study commissioned by Nintex highlights the recent growing software sprawl that is not only stretching IT resources but causing a financial impact. The study shows that Australian midmarket organisations are turning to AI for help.
USTRALIAN MID-MARKET
A organisations are contending with a growing software sprawl crisis, with 49 % juggling between 51 and 200 SaaS tools and half adding a new tool every two to four weeks. To overcome this, Australians are turning to AI, with 92 % deploying AI to detect redundant apps, automate integrations and optimise tool usage, a rate higher than any other nation surveyed.
These findings are from the 2025 SaaS Sprawl Snapshot, a study commissioned by Nintex, a global leader in AI-powered process automation and application development, which surveyed 2,000 IT decision-makers across four countries. The Australian findings reveal a wave of unbridled software proliferation that is slowing workflows, increasing compliance risk and consuming IT resources at an unsustainable rate.
