When it comes to the metaverse, many in IT suspect that it is just another data silo filled with second life left-overs, security threats galore, compliance black holes, communication flubs, data leaks, and technical glitches.

Good thing is some of the vendors, such as Microsoft, who are taking lead in collaboration-based metaverse are well understood by IT teams,” says Yugal Joshi, Partner at Everest Group.
