Stop Relying on Spreadsheets for Business

Guys, if your entire business runs on Excel files saved to someone's desktop,

you don't have a data strategy. You have a fucking disaster waiting to happen.

Here's what actually happens. Sarah updates the pricing sheet, she doesn't update

the team. Mike goes ahead and makes changes to the old version and saves it as

final version V3, use this. Now you have two versions of the same file,

neither is right. Your inventory doesn't match your orders, your financial reports don't tie to your

accounting system, and when Sarah leaves the company, nobody knows where anything is.

Spreadsheets aren't built to be a scalable database. They're not built for data integrity
