As a superstar manager tasked with bringing greater efficiency to your team, you've identified some of the biggest workflow redundancies and know what needs to be changed.

After hours of researching productivity-boosting cloud solutions to streamline your operations, testing them out in trials and carefully comparing products, you've finally decided on an excellent solution that best fits you and your team's need. You've maneuvered through company politics and managed to impress executive leadership.

You're skipping along a rose-trimmed path when all of a sudden you hit a IT department roadblock.
