Breakout Session

How to talk to your IT and security teams about Smartsheet

Wednesday, Oct 9 | 1:00PM - 2:00PM

Details

Smartsheet has a track record of achieving viral end-user adoption. However, as usage expands, IT and security teams may become concerned about the platform's security, compliance, manageability, and scalability. They may even halt further growth until they can thoroughly evaluate it! This session will guide non-technical users on how to effectively present Smartsheet to IT and security as a secure, scalable, manageable, and interoperable enterprise-grade platform, and how to dispel any notions that the platform risks "shadow IT."
