It’s known that all organizations use spreadsheets to have, distribute and report data. Yet, this reality generates multiple complications both at the IT and the security level. At ITG, we offer a solution: we turn Excel spreadsheets into an application in only a matter of minutes.
Does your organization still use Spreadsheets to store critical data?
It’s common for organizations, regardless of their size, to have a large amount of critical data stored in Spreadsheets. This is so, because Excel spreadsheets represent a simple way for all members of the organization to have and distribute information.
A problem arises when the different members and departments of the organization share this data, generating multiple copies with outdated data and erroneous processes. It creates:
Decentralization
The information is not centralized in a single source, causing communication problems and outdated data.
Security problems
Spreadsheets can be easily manipulated, distributed and deleted, compromising data and information security.
Inefficiency
Spreadsheets are hand tools which impede the efficiency and automation of tasks.
The solution: Replacing Spreadsheets with Oracle APEX
Oracle APEX, Oracle’s rapid development tool (included cost-free in Oracle Database) allows you to replace spreadsheets by turning them into an application in only a matter of minutes.
Benefits of systematizing Spreadsheets with APEX
Oracle APEX includes, by default, a specific tool to systematize Excel spreadsheets with numerous benefits:
Quick solution

Single data source
The data and reports of the organization will be available in a single centralized application which all members can access and update information in real time.
