Lienholders in the automotive space, including car dealerships and financial institutions, have a wealth of data to keep track of in the course of their day-to-day business. As business has moved to a more data-centric focus, with more and more companies recognizing the value and importance of data in all areas of their business, the fact remains that many companies are using outdated tools to keep track of their data. Surveys suggest that one in five businesses utilize spreadsheet programs, such as Microsoft Excel as the main tool to record and monitor data.
A study conducted by Forrester Consulting confirmed that spreadsheets remain the dominant medium for business-critical tasks. Almost a third of respondents noted that their organizations use more than 10,000 spreadsheets on a regular basis and 88% reported using more than 100 complex and customized spreadsheets to support their critical business processes.
While spreadsheets have proven to be a valuable resource for many different parts of a company’s day-to-day operations, they are not perfect. Human error is a very real occurrence. In fact, research has shown that nearly nine out of ten spreadsheets have errors that affect their results. Every spreadsheet has the potential to hide inherent risk – and there are many. Formulas may not be repopulating correctly, coworkers could be using different versions of a saved spreadsheet, and information could be hidden behind formatting. And, while flexible and convenient, using manually driven spreadsheet-enabled processes can lead to errors, either accidental or intentional.
