The old spreadsheet. It's long been the go-to solution for business people whenever they need to track, manage and report on something. Most people know how to use them and they are readily available. But are they really the best solution? This presentation evaluates the pros and cons of using spreadsheets to track important business processes or workflows. It also provides expert advice on alternatives to consider if using spreadsheets is no longer working for you. In particular, there's a new breed of mobile-first and cloud-based software tools that allow business people to better track, manage and report on their important business processes. These new tools are particular good at managing critical, complex workflows, uniting users with all their data, automating and streamlining tasks or workflows, and providing the real-time, live data reporting that's so critical to decision making.

2. Spreadsheets are often billed as simple, easy-to-
use solutions. Many companies – manufacturers,
hospitals, constructions firms, etc. – default to
them for tracking and managing critical, complex
processes. Unfortunately, spreadsheets have
limitations that can frustrate users – and disrupt
critical operations.
This presentation explores the pros and cons of
using simple spreadsheets to streamline critical
workflows – and offers alternatives to simplify how
you track, manage and report on your critical
business processes.
