Undocumented VBA code and local databases typically do not have cloud interfaces (APIs). They tie critical business logic to individual files, thereby preventing intelligent automation. Anyone looking to build an Agentic Enterprise should make this process knowledge accessible.
Citizen development brings agility to business departments, but without governance, it creates uncontrolled shadow IT. To ensure that in-house developments remain secure and provide real value, binding guardrails and modern cloud standards are required.
Local macros are tied to individual workstations. They are not cloud-ready and are difficult to integrate into modern system landscapes.
Without binding standards, isolated standalone solutions emerge that can undermine central compliance and security guidelines.
Macros can open security vulnerabilities and are a well-known gateway for malware. Centrally managed IT governance is essential.
In-house developments usually arise ad hoc. If the person who created them leaves the team, they often can neither be maintained nor scaled.
Undocumented solutions complicate integration with central enterprise systems and create data silos.
