Dangers of Running a Business solely on Microsoft Office tools
Many small businesses rely heavily on Excel spreadsheets and Word documents to run their daily business operations. I cannot stress enough how this may work fine when the company is just starting out, as Microsoft Office programs are powerful tools, within a company’s budget and are well known amongst employees. However, in the long run, these programs can be quite dangerous to the survival or growth of the company.- As more and more information is being added to Excel spreadsheets, the more likely these spreadsheets will become unstable. This increases the risk for data loss and corruption.
- Typos and oversights are common errors that can occur in Excel spreadsheets. They are typically quite difficult to catch and can create serious problems for a company.
- As spreadsheets are emailed back and forth between employees or departments, it’s common for various versions of the same file to be going around. Different information can be travelling from person to person, making analyzing the data difficult and efficient decision-making impossible.
