While Excel is a powerful tool for data manipulation and calculation, there are several reasons why a company might consider moving from Excel to an online application:
- Data Security: Online applications usually have robust security measures in place to protect data, including user authentication, encryption, and back-end security measures. In contrast, Excel files can be easily copied, emailed, or lost.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Online applications allow multiple users to work on the same dataset in real-time, which is not possible with Excel without using additional services.
- Data Consistency: In Excel, data can become inconsistent if multiple people are working on different copies of the same file. In contrast, online applications ensure that everyone is working on the same data.
- Scalability: Excel has limits on the amount of data it can handle efficiently. Online applications, especially those built on robust databases, can handle much larger data sets.
- Accessibility: Online applications can be accessed from anywhere, on any device with an internet connection. Excel requires specific software installed on the device.
- Automation and Integration: Online applications can often be integrated with other online services to automate data flow and processing. With Excel, this requires more manual work.
- User Permissions: Online applications usually have the ability to set different access levels or permissions for different users, while Excel has limited functionality in this regard.
