How Safe Is Your Stakeholder Data?

Excel is a tool many of us use for our work, and spreadsheets are invaluable for data manipulation and analysis. However, whilst they are often used as a surrogate for databases, this is often not the right approach.

For sensitive databases, important, critical and even life-changing work, spreadsheets introduce risk – often with management unaware.

Spreadsheets carry huge risks.

The use of spreadsheets increases the risk of data errors, duplication and mislaid information. According to a University study on corporate use of spreadsheets, 94% of spreadsheets have errors.

Data breaches will continue to happen when Excel is used in place of software that’s designed for the job.

No business of any scale or professional standing can really find it acceptable for dozens, often hundreds or even thousands of stakeholder interactions to be filed and maintained by way of a loose assortment of shared drives, personal computers, filing cabinets and desk drawers alongside spreadsheets.
