Corporate IT departments all over the world are burdened with unnecessary software applications, according to a survey by systems integrator Capgemini. Of 1,116 CIOs and senior IT executives polled, 48% said their companies have more applications than they need, said Capgemini. That's up from 34% in a previous survey. Only 37% said a majority of the applications they have are mission-critical, and 70% reported that at least 20% of their applications are redundant. The IT leaders surveyed came from 16 countries, with 73% representing regions with mature economies, such as the U.S. and Europe, and the remainder in emerging markets like China and India.
