Hi Mark here, Managing Director of All My Systems, helping companies grow by sorting out their business systems properly. In this episode of AMS TV, we’re going to focus on a common problem: too many spreadsheets.

The Excel Limitation

Nearly every business we speak with tells us that they have too many spreadsheets. Now, don’t get me wrong, Excel is an amazing tool when used for the right job. However, it does have its limits. It’s not designed to run your entire business, especially when crucial company information is held in separate spreadsheets with no easy way of extracting meaningful data or generating comprehensive reports.

The Impact of Spreadsheet Overload

This was the case for one of our customers. As their business grew, the number of spreadsheets grew along with it. Data became duplicated, queries became difficult to answer, and it started affecting team productivity. Reporting on the data became slow and cumbersome. Management spent several hours each week generating reports, and even then, the reports weren’t in real-time, so the state of the business was always out of date.

The Solution: Microsoft Dynamics 365

They realized two things: in order to keep growing, they needed to sort out their systems properly, and they needed a system that could be tailored specifically to their needs. That’s when we implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Now, the business owners and their team can run real-time reports for more accurate decision-making. They can keep their team more engaged during sales meetings and dedicate more time to strengthening customer relationships.
