The business looks at day one deployment while IT looks at operations and sustainment. Areas like enterprise access control, backup and data recovery, incident response, bcp, log monitoring, vulnerability monitoring and many more are not considered when the business does it by “themselves”.Content you might like

Without a doubt - Technical Debt! It's a ball and chain that creates an ever increasing drag on any organization, stifles innovation, and prevents transformation.
The downside of having a large shadow IT capability is the proliferation of hacky, and unmaintainable code and infrastructure going forward. I think most organizations at this point are trying to find the best balance between having an agile shadow IT organization that respond to changing business requirements and rolling such practices back into the formal IT organization in ways that are sustainable.
