PowerSheets™

bridging the gap

Spreadsheets are inevitable tools in most organizations. Business users love worksheets for the native features they offer: calculation and simulation, decision support, fast learning curve and easy manipulation of data blocks. With these features at their disposal users have a powerful and versatile tool for decision support usable in a variety of business contexts.

However, spreadsheets also create problems for management recognized by users and the IT areas: dispersion and file versions, lack of security, lack of integration into system architecture and the impossibility of simultaneous editing.

How to maximize the use of spreadsheets, beyond its limitations?
