The 20th Century Called. They’d like those spreadsheets back.
We get it. Everybody and their grandpa manages their operations and maintenance with spreadsheets. It’s hard to avoid them. Spreadsheets are everywhere. Spreadsheets are familiar.
Spreadsheets are also probably costing you more money than they’re saving.
