Eliminating Excel HELL

Spreadsheets are an important part in the analysis of information within an organisation but managers are finding spreadsheets cannot always give them the most reliable, secure and timely critical business information. When it comes to security, reliability and data integrity, spreadsheets alone cannot be trusted. Spreadsheet data across an organisation is not auditable and cannot be verified or checked and the lack of connectivity between spreadsheets and other business information in an organisation hampers decision making and creates duplication. Manually importing and aggregating data means a high risk of human error and this reduces productivity and raises issues over compliance integrity.

How do you unlock the power of your spreadsheets with assurance? How do you ensure you are providing the most accurate forecast or financial and statistical analysis with absolute confidence? How do you bring out the best in your critical organisational data?

In this seminar, Praxa will demonstrate how an organisation can:

1. Track and work with complex disparate business information with assurance
   
   
2. Increase insight and control of your data and reduce argument over its accuracy and integrity
   
   
3. Spend less time importing and aggregating data manually but more time on data analysis
   
   
4. Retain and ensure data security, reliability and integrity for auditable regulatory compliance
   
   
5. Improve the bottom line and enhance the usability, security, depth and breadth of your spreadsheets

Showcasing real life examples, this seminar aims to eliminate Excel Hell by showing how an organisation can enhance the spreadsheet environment with the power of business intelligence that ensures data integrity as well as providing a fast and sophisticated snapshot of an organisation’s critical business information for better decision making and productivity increases.

ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

“With so many people working on different versions of the same spreadsheet we always get formula errors, copying errors and input errors.”

"I spend so much time maintaining the information in these files and still there is so much inconsistency of information when we do the analysis. It is very frustrating!”

"Every time when we have a meeting over the analysis of our results, the first 10 minutes of the meeting is arguing about whose numbers are correct. This is so unproductive!”

"There must be a better way to save time and money to crunch and analyse our numbers. Inputting the numbers takes so long and we always seem to have duplications. We need a solution that is reliable.”

"I get a headache trying to keep up with all the spreadsheets and data in the organisation. How can we take control over the vast amount of information in the company?"

"I can't trust the data my staff gives me, especially coming from their spreadsheets. Integrity of the information in our organisation is crucial and I can't risk it. Regulatory compliance makes it necessary to have accurate information."
