MS Excel-Based Efficiency & Accuracy Issues
The Challenge
Investment management firms face numerous efficiency and accuracy issues due to heavy reliance on MS Excel. These challenges include:
- Data Fragmentation: Managing data across multiple Excel spreadsheets creates fragmentation, complicating integration and unification efforts.
- Data Format Inconsistencies: Variations in data formats across different Excel workbooks make it challenging to combine and standardize data.
- Scalability Issues: Limited scalability of Excel-based processes hampers growth as data volumes increase.
- Manual and Error-Prone Workflows: Generating reports and aggregating data manually leads to inefficiencies and errors.
- Manual and Error-Prone Workflows: Generating reports and aggregating data manually leads to inefficiencies and errors.
- Limited Data Visualization Capabilities: Excel’s basic visualization tools are inadequate for advanced data analysis, making it difficult to extract strategic insights.
