Excel Is Many Things, But Not a Database
Microsoft Excel is one of the most widely used business tools around the world. However, using it as a database in an era of teleworking and cloud computing can lead to data exposure, decreased productivity and more.
Excel users benefit from a vast collection of formulas, instantaneous calculations, easy charting and simple customization of fonts and colors. Anyone can input data and make quick reports, so it’s not a surprise that Excel can be seen on almost every computer around the world and continues to be a pillar of the Microsoft Office suite.
Limitations arise when multiple users need to edit files at the same time. Or when there’s sensitive information that other collaborators aren’t allowed to see. Often, it’s simply hard to find the latest version of the “final” file in your inbox.
If you’re trying to use spreadsheets as a business database and you find yourself limited by the lack of collaboration or security features, you’ve already outgrown Microsoft Excel.
Consider moving from Excel to a centralized online database. With Caspio, you can easily bring your existing spreadsheets into the cloud. Build secure, interactive web database apps and automate the way you collect and share data. Caspio is built on enterprise-grade SQL servers that can effortlessly handle databases of any size, with any number
of users.
