Thisdevelopment causes rising IT costs and dependencies, which hinderthe maintenance and expansion of the IS landscape. This articleoutlines the current research on published and presentedmethods to manage the rising IT complexity in a literature review.Because definitions of “IT complexity” vary a lot in literature,this paper also includes a definition of the term. In additionto that, it delivers a presentation of the used research methodology.Subsequently, it presents the findings in literature, highlightsthe research gap and – based on the literature analysis –presents the steps that need to be taken. A discussion of the resultsand a summary complete the article.
