An old ERP joke was ERP stood for ‘Excel Replacement Program’ instead of Enterprise Resource Planning.  According to a study by Deloitte, 70% of companies still use Microsoft Excel for sensitive and critical data and processes and over one billion people use and rely on Microsoft Excel every day to collect and manage data, make important calculations and decisions.

At VOX ISM we don’t believe Excel will truly be replaced. ERP is complicated, inflexible, and rules-based while Excel provides freedom, flexibility and enhances productivity.
