PRESS RELEASE: Convert thousands of spreadsheet data into Excelitte and your data is almost impossible to hack.

Whilst juggling several tasks and working with spreadsheets I have often lost my data because autosave was either not on or I had not saved my last update, or I had mistakenly deleted information as I move to other tasks.

For example, switching to use notepad to make a note of something else.

Have you had a similar experience?

At the beginning of February, I was asked to gather information on different advertising & marketing companies.

I had created a structured spreadsheet with all the column headings and was continuing to gather more information on different companies. I was almost finished.

I had copied some information over from the internet, and mistakenly deleted half my work while also opening a new spreadsheet at the same time.

I was very confused because I am not a technical person. It had no backup or copy at this stage.

I tried the undo button, and it would only bring back some information, I think roughly half my work was gone. It took me another hour or so to re-find all the information and finish the spreadsheet again.

This issue would not have occurred if I had downloaded that spreadsheet up to Excelitte (www.excelitte.com).

I am sure most of you have struggled with similar situations and can relate to how irritating it is to be set back by something completely out of your control.

Also, can you relate to this one?

10 years ago, you started a company and used a spreadsheet to capture and analyse your customer details?

At first, it was just 50 rows of data, then it became 100 within 12 months, then three new staff were recruited who also updated the same spreadsheet, most times remotely.

Today, the company has an employee strength of 50 who all collaboratively use 30 spreadsheets on a day-to-day basis both remotely and on a site, at a growth rate of 1 new spreadsheet every two weeks.

Having 51 people use the same spreadsheets, resulted in the following;

1) Overwriting of each other’s data updates & different copies and versions saved in different folders, no single source of truth.

2) Loss of data when any computer that the latest version is saved is lost, stolen destroyed, or not switching on.

3) The data in the spreadsheet is only as secure as the computer it is saved on and the billing team did not want anyone having access to the customer’s credit card details.
Excelitte instantly moves all your spreadsheet data into a secure database web application accessible only from one computer if required or shared across many team members.

Finally, Excelitte will leverage modern or recent Information technology advances to include artificial intelligence and other security techniques in ensuring that its data can only be viewed deleted, modified, or copied by an authorised user.
