What is your business using instead of Excel?
- mschuster91 1y agoIf I were to guess some frankenstein SAP system
- OtherShrezzing 1y ago90% of the business just uses Sheets. There's a few accountants & finance people who still need Excel.
- andrewl-hn 1y agoDepends, really. My exposure to agriculture and manufacturing sectors says everyone is still on Office 365 and Excel while digital marketing and advertising are almost all using Gmail and Sheets. Though it may also be location-dependent. I'm describing Europe, other parts of the world may be very different.
- eitally 1y agoNot necessarily manufacturing. I led a Microsoft takeout at Sanmina (global high-tech contract mfr) all the way back in 2008-2009, and the result was 23,000 users moving to GSuite and mostly just Legal & Finance keeping Office as a fall-back only if LibreOffice wasn't sufficient. At the same time, several thousand Windows laptops were replaced with Chromebooks, and nearly all non-engineering workstations were replaced with ChromeOS devices or thin clients.
- bix6 1y agoSo you can’t migrate off then… and how is sheets (Google) better than Microsoft?
- kfajdsl 1y agoGoogle sheets
- bix6 1y agoYour accountants are using Google sheets?
- bongodongobob 1y agoNah. They are a dev and have no idea how the rest of the company works. They use Linux and sheets so obviously everyone else should be able to.
- epolanski 1y agoOrange and apples comparison. Sure, they are both fruits, that's where it ends.
