Escape the clutches of ‘Excel Hell’
If you work with numbers or finances, there’s a good chance you’re heavily invested in Microsoft Excel. It has been the dominant player for many decades and continues to play a major role for companies of all sizes. However, at a certain scale of computation, Excel starts to hit its limits. When you’re trying to pull data from various sources, calculate complex permutations in real-time, or visualise the key insights available, you can quickly find yourself in ‘Excel hell’.
It’s time to free yourself from that tyranny and move to a dedicated Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) solution that can not only handle complexity, but harness it to its full potential.
Common challenges
Extreme complexity
As the complexity within your business grows, Excel starts to hit its limits, slowing down your reporting and stunting your business’s growth.
Spreadsheets have limitations
While spreadsheets are powerful tools for simple calculations, they’re not well suited to complex multivariate calculations that must ingest and make sense of different data sources. This limitation greatly reduces your ability to perform intricate analysis and harms your ability to maximise benefits from your internal data.
Your business is at risk of being overwhelmed
When your tools limit what is possible with your data, you give up a lot in terms of opportunity cost. You complexity is what defines you, and removing parts of it may lead to ignoring things that are uniquely essential. Competitors that can harness their complexity more efficiently will make better decisions and you’re likely to be left behind.
