Ottawa Manufacturer's
Network
February Workshop
and Lunch. Diligens
will be presenting at
the "Great Companies +
Great Products = Great
Profits" workshop.
Yannick De
Meulemeester's session
to be presented in the
afternoon is entitled
"Planned IT Migration -
When Does the
Spreadsheet Run Out of
Gas?":
Spreadsheets are
the ubiquitous
Swiss-army knives of the
young enterprise. As the
company grows and
matures, robust business
solutions must be
implemented in order to
improve operational
efficiencies. The
challenge is to identify
the right moment when
the company will best
benefit from migrating
away from
spreadsheet-based
management tools. This
presentation will
highlight early warning
signs as well as discuss
the symptoms of a too
large dependency on
spreadsheets if the
warnings are ignored.
Options, steps to
selecting a business
solution and what to
look for in a solution
will also be discussed.
