Business users have a tendency to adopt consumer-grade applications as a simple way of getting their job done \u2013 often opting for the <em>freemium <\/em>model. Meanwhile IT departments, concerned about security and governance, prevent access to these services, when they should be acknowledging the business need and setting up an approved and secure
