is excel good?_
Excel: it’s the most used database on the planet. It’s why you clicked onto this page, eh? But, is it the best database to use? We think not. Find out why here.
9 Hours A Week
The average Excel user spends up to 9 hours a week needlessly repeating work.
£8,740 A Year
On average, the cost of all unnecessary work on Excel amounts to £8,740 a year.
£48 Billion A Year
In total, that’s 2 billion hours of unnecessary work, and £48 billion spent on Excel, yearly.
But wait. There’s more:
A: Human Error
It’s easy for human errors to occur: Excel accepts whatever you want to type into a cell.
B: Spreadsheets = Unsafe
Spreadsheets are unsafe, because it’s hard to control who sees them, and who uses them.
C: Financial Errors
Businesses across the globe are getting their accounts wrong: Excel makes it possible.
D: Security Breaches
It’s easy to hack Excel, and to share spreadsheets with those who shouldn’t have access.
E: Speed
Spreadsheets can be slow. That’s more time and money wasted that you won’t get back.
The Solution?

I. They’re mobile friendly

DISCLAIMER ALERT: Yes, purchasing a database will require an up-front investment, however, it won’t take long for you to make that money back. Overall, your business will end up more efficient, and more profitable in the long run. What’s not to love?
