Companies seek to reduce reliance on Excel spreadsheets

What happened: Many companies are encouraging staff to move away from using Excel spreadsheets to manage data, aiming to centralise data control.

Why it matters:

  • Centralising data can improve accuracy and security across organisations
  • Employees accustomed to Excel may face challenges adapting to new systems

MNN Take: While Excel remains popular for data tasks, firms are shifting towards centralised platforms to streamline operations and enhance data governance.
