By implementing micro-apps, an IT department can streamline the user interface for enterprise apps, providing a user-focused view, and allowing a user to access the functionality they need while avoiding the functionality they don’t need. Micro-apps don’t only benefit the IT department; they provide the entire company with many benefits from reduced application support costs and better security to more confident users and higher compliance.
Micro-apps are a solution for enterprise app sprawl as they deliver improved user experiences, reduce IT support, and lower maintenance costs.

There is a good chance you have a least one junk drawer in your life. Perhaps it’s in the kitchen, or you might have one in your desk. A place to put all those valuable odds and ends that were useful, or could be useful in the future. Unfortunately, in addition to these physical junk drawers, sometimes businesses end up with a digital junk drawer filled with unused or, more often, underused mobile apps. Another name for this digital junk drawer could be enterprise app sprawl. Too many mobile apps, or too many of the wrong mobile apps, is not only inefficient and redundant, but it causes a strain on company resources and leads to confusion for both employees and consumers. You can simplify your enterprise app sprawl with micro-applications.
Why Enterprise App Sprawl Happens
There are a variety of ways that a company might find itself inundated with mobile apps. While we like to think that mobile apps are all there to make businesses run smoother, in reality, too many mobile apps only make processes more complicated. Mergers, acquisitions, and even organic company growth all lead to a dramatically increasing dossier of applications that an IT department must maintain and support. Application sprawl increases operational costs and also leaves a company open to additional cybersecurity risks.
What is application sprawl?
Application sprawl is the ever-growing number of applications in a company that either overlap or are underused. These underutilized apps take up an increasing amount of company resources.
