Complexity is rising faster than control

As organizations expand across SaaS, cloud and AI-driven software, ITAM teams are being asked to govern faster-moving, more complex environments. But visibility and control are not keeping pace, creating new challenges around asset tracking, audit readiness, wasted spend and software governance.

This infographic, based on findings from the Flexera 2026 State of ITAM Report, highlights where visibility gaps continue to challenge ITAM programs. It explores how AI adoption, expanding cloud usage and persistent audit pressure are increasing complexity across the IT estate—and why stronger governance is becoming more critical.

The research shows that while organizations are rapidly experimenting with AI software, many still lack the visibility needed to manage it effectively. At the same time, audit activity remains high and wasted spend is shifting toward newer environments, reinforcing the need for more complete asset intelligence.
