Smartsheet<\/a>, <\/b>an intuitive work management tool, has led the way here in recent years, yet many Excel <\/b>users have yet to discover the benefits. Those that have, have discovered ways to save 20 or even 40% of their Admin time. Project planners have often used MS Project<\/b>, which, like Excel<\/b> struggles to provide easy collaboration on any platform on any device, which Smartsheet <\/b>\u00a0provides easily.<\/p>\n Our experience has shown that businesses that migrated their complex Planning processes into Smartsheet<\/b>\u00a0found that it was\u00a0capable of about\u00a080% of what they required and did\u00a0it far better than traditional systems. Smartsheet\u2019s<\/b> latest feature updates<\/a> mean that it is now capable of over 90% of typical requirements, removing the need for more expensive and complex systems. Often, what Smartsheet<\/b> is not best at, can remain in Excel,<\/b> e.g. for in depth data analytics. The difference being that Smartsheet<\/b> gathers all the data from collaborators really easily and can deliver it to an Excel <\/b>dashboard in real time. So, all the reasons for not moving forward have now been removed, which can be a significant contributor to the Productivity of any organisation.<\/p>\n Project Migration<\/a> and the Change Management <\/b>of working practices that comes with such migration has many rewards that are quickly accessed. \u00a0All that is needed to implement and benefit from this Migration is a team of consultants<\/a> that understands Microsoft Apps and Smartsheet really well, such that the best tools are deployed and Workflows re-designed to suit more collaborative working practices.<\/p>\n Implementing Smartsheet and associated Symbiotic apps <\/b>like ProofHQ<\/a>, \u00a0Docusign<\/a>, \u00a0OverDRIVE<\/a><\/strong> etc., are virtually instantaneous and inexpensive. Licenses can be provided on a trial basis while the evaluation of benefits takes place and purchases made on an annual renewable basis, which reduces upfront costs dramatically compared to traditional IT system replacement.<\/p>\n Book your place<\/a> for our Getting to Grips with Project Management in Smartsheet<\/a> course or Smartsheet Discovery Day delivered in London, Southampton and Leeds or on your premises for up to 8 people\u00a0or Arrange your Free initial Consultancy<\/a> to discuss your Training<\/a> or Consultancy<\/a> requirements. \u00a0We’d love to hear from you!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Business Users have traditionally relied on Microsoft Excel for most of their data collection and analysis activities but Excel is not the best tool when it comes to getting work done in collaboration with colleagues and outside resources.
