IT Teams Take Control: From App Chaos to Clarity | Juriba

Every CTO is under pressure to deliver faster, safer, and smarter transformation. 
Yet beneath every initiative sits a layer of unmanaged applications, blurred ownership, and invisible risk. 

As business units deploy their own tools, control has shifted outside IT. What began as agility has become exposure, with untracked apps, outdated owner records, and application owners unaware of their accountability. Our findings show that 43 % of enterprise applications are unmanaged¹, while 60% of breaches stem from known but unpatched vulnerabilities.² 

What's really going on

Here’s how we got here:

• Teams deployed tools without looping in IT.

• Ownership records fell through the cracks.

• No one has a full view of what’s installed or whether it’s patched.

What started as agility has turned into exposure.

Chasing down functional owners through spreadsheets or emails doesn’t scale. Especially when you’re managing thousands of apps across geographies and business lines.

How leading IT teams are solving it

At Juriba, we’ve worked with IT leaders in this exact situation. The solution isn’t just more people or tighter policies. Its visibility and automation work together.

Juriba Windows Application Management solutions, powered by Juriba.AI, restore visibility, capacity, and control. Together with Juriba’s application management solution, automate ownership mapping, patch readiness, and testing across 100 % of your application estate: managed and unmanaged. 

Many apps are handled automatically, allowing IT teams to bring application management back in-house and focus on critical business systems. 

Here’s how:

Specifically, our Juriba App Readiness and Juriba App Owner products enable IT Teams to: 

• Reduce application management costs by up to 40%, enabling teams to focus on high-value, complex, and security-critical initiatives  

• Automate up to 80% of applications, freeing IT teams from manual coordination and repetitive effort. 

• Achieve 97% faster application smoke testing through robust package testing. 

• Accelerate IT responsiveness and employee satisfaction with rapid application packaging and testing completed in just 7–15 minutes, available 24/7/365. 

• Improve visibility and reduce risk associated with unmanaged applications by identifying those lacking ownership, assigning clear responsibility, and tracking outcomes. 

• Scale packaging, testing, and publishing across thousands of applications with consistency and compliance. 

• Leverage Juriba AI intelligence to find answers faster and even automate application repackaging tasks.   

Real results

Companies using Juriba’s solutions have seen:

• Up to 40% reduction in app management costs

• 80% automation of repetitive tasks

• 97% faster smoke testing

• Clear ownership accountability across the application estate

• Scalable testing across thousands of apps with audit-ready compliance

One team we worked with uncovered 1,400 unmanaged apps. Among them was a finance tool with expired patch support. That one discovery reshaped their approach to risk.

Why it works: Built for IT teams, by IT teams

At Juriba, our solutions are built for IT people, by IT people, trusted by global enterprises where security, reliability, and compliance really matter.  With Juriba, visibility becomes your advantage, and transformation accelerates without compromise.

This isn’t about more data. It’s about getting real results.

Reveal the true cost of incomplete application coverage

Unmanaged applications don’t just create risk.
They quietly drain the budget, slow transformation, and overload IT teams.

Our CTO-focused whitepaper, The Hidden Cost of Incomplete Application Coverage, breaks down:

• How unmanaged and partially covered estates drive security and compliance exposure
• The operational and financial impact of manual application management at scale
• Why visibility alone isn’t enough without automation
• How leading IT teams are achieving 100% coverage without increasing headcount

Get a clear, data-backed view of what incomplete coverage is really costing your organisation and the practical roadmap to close the gap.

Final word: Visibility is not the problem, it's the path forward

Visibility isn’t a barrier to innovation; it’s how you scale it safely. 
100% application coverage enabled by automation. 100% confidence from skilled IT oversight.
