If we were willing to abandon all of our tooling and technology tribalism, it would become feasible to replace many B2B SaaS products with a scheduled ETL job that runs on an MSSQL or Oracle box once per day. Most business processes can be modeled as extract-transform-load. The business would generally agree that fancy spreadsheets on the server is much simpler compared to a custom codebase. Especially, when granted access to this data and involved in its schema design.
