If You Love Excel, Have I Got Something For You!


Did you know that second only to email, Excel is the most widely used tool each and every day by the business user community? In fact, with over 500 million users, Excel is the number one reporting and analysis tool used globally. As we all know, Excel has some very powerful features that we love, but even with that, we can often experience delays in getting critical information to decision makers because of the need to export, supplement and format data that comes from our business applications like Sage 100. Don’t get me wrong, most business software’s built-in or canned reports serve a useful purpose, but there are numerous times when we need to tweak that info a bit to get to exactly what the management team needs to see to make effective business decisions. It only makes sense that a familiar tool like Excel is the perfect place to do this With Biznet, everyone in your organization can access and immediately analyze key business information within the reporting solution they use every day…Excel.

In talking with many businesses of all shapes and sizes over the years, one common theme is that most of them maintain a large number of Excel files that are part of their daily business operation.
