Spreadsheets can’t keep up with compliance management challenges

Spreadsheets like Excel and Google Sheets are often used for compliance management, but they have significant limitations. Compliance involves countless responsibilities, deadlines, and obligations that need to be tracked and managed—areas where spreadsheets fall short.

 

While spreadsheets may be the bare bones of your management processes, they’re still quite prone to manual errors and lack modern automation capabilities, making it easy to miss important deadlines and increasing the risk of compliance issues. They’re also unable to handle modern workflows, leading to inefficiencies and mistakes that shouldn’t be made nowadays.

 

As businesses grow, these issues only intensify. Spreadsheets become cumbersome with large volumes of data, especially when multiple users are involved. Managing them also becomes a challenge, and generating accurate reports turns into a time-consuming task prone to errors—adding to the risk of making poor business decisions without a clear understanding of the status quo. Add in the lack of security needed to safeguard sensitive data and it should quickly confirm that spreadsheets fall short in meeting the demands of modern, successful business operations.
