Hi Thomas, We too are struggling with this same issue. I would appreciate to know the answer as well. Todd Britton, Ed.D.

We in IT are struggling with forming policies around such usage and our responsibilities around those services. I would appreciate input in how others are handling this SaaS hydra. Does IT track all external services used? Does IT have the rights and/or information and/or responsibility for administration of these services? Does IT have any right of refusal for possibly insecure or unvetted services? Does IT have any other applicable policies such as SSO requirements, etc? We're struggling with issues like when an employee leaves, how can we make sure they no longer have access to any school resources when some of those only reside in the cloud? Or when we don't even know about the service? How do we make sure a chosen solution integrates well into the rest of our environment when we may not be involved in the selection process? I appreciate any answers, advice, or suggestions you can offer. Thomas Carter Network & Operations Manager Austin College
