Do you find that your organisation loves to use Excel for data that should be centralised?
Can't bare to leave your excel sheets behind, when you move your data online?
During the roll-out of new IT software suites there is often a drive to abolish
the use of Excel files used for storing information. Individual Excel files are
a nightmare for IT departments as versions are hard to control, they are siloed
on individual PCs and huge amount of data of value to the wider organisation is
trapped (or hidden) on a file and is not in a central database.
However the fact is that Excel is a useful and popular tool. It can be faster to
open, to use for many tasks, and provides so many useful the features for data manipulation
that users want to keep it. Abolishing Excel can be very painful and often annoys
users.
