Gouvernance IT - Notif de redirection

Lead users to the approved alternative

Shadow IT doesn’t happen by accident. It appears when employees feel the approved tools slow them down or don’t meet their needs.

Instead of blocking productivity, Lemon Learning intervenes in the moment of diversion, recommends the approved alternative, and keeps work flowing inside secure, compliant platforms.

Gain visibility into Shadow IT across your digital workplace

Most organisations don’t know which tools employees actually use and which ones they avoid.

Gain real visibility into usage patterns, monitored tools, blocked applications, and approved alternatives, helping you track risks, adoption gaps, and tool sprawl before it escalates.

Immediate, sustainable and measurable skills development

“We know now that members in every team drift to unapproved tools, but in the first month alone, Lemon’s in-app reminders managed to cut those detours by about 45%.”

“Our support team stopped getting the same questions every day; once Lemon guided users to the right tools, tickets about blocked apps dropped by about 28%.”

"We had three different ways of using Gemini across countries. Lemon micro-guides simplified everything. Teams are progressing faster, and we can clearly see the impact."
