Many businesses still rely on spreadsheets to manage and run their operations. It's all they know and they like what they know but there are many disadvantages that they are only marginally aware of. One of these is that every single spreadsheet is a separate document that has to be filed accordingly. The second is that using a spreadsheet system means a massive amount of duplication of data, either from typing the same thing over and over again or by copying and pasting from one sheet to another. The third is that all of the data is in different places and it's almost an impossible task to bring it together in a way that managers or owners can use it to make smart, educated decisions about what direction to take with their business. Add that to the fact that other key information is often stored in multiple places, i.e., an online CRM (Can't Remember Much) system, filing cabinets for documents and multiple email boxes for correspondence
