Since the 1980s, Oracle databases have acted as digital data stores for a wide range of business applications. But using them takes up a lot of resources. Entirely on-premises solutions in particular are also being pushed to their limits when it comes to implementing business requirements. Cloud-based database services can help.

In our first interview with Gerald Klump, Trivadis Co-CEO, on the topic of the Cloud, we looked at the aspect of database security. This time, we will focus on the risks associated with using the Cloud. 

Being able to stop shadow IT from Cloud applications entirely is an illusion. However, there are ways in which IT departments can get the problem under control as well as possible.

The Cloud offers a high degree of flexibility. However, this positive aspect also means that resources are continually procured without the knowledge of the IT department. This creates a shadow IT system that can have far-reaching negative consequences.
