"We don't need to hire an electrician to wire up the office, I did my garage using uninsulated wires and it works perfectly!"
- Closi 6y agoThe guys handling millions of dollars should be trained in finance / accounting, so they aren’t untrained. Handing over to IT usually means their flexible spreadsheet that they can change as they require, turns into an expensive and inflexible black box that only IT can change and that doesn’t integrate with the rest of their decisions. Also the new solution also probably has errors and pulls currency info from the same endpoint. Excel isn’t perfect, but it’s used for a reason. To use your analogy, You can wait for an electrician to change your lightbulb, but that means your going to be working in the dark for longer.
