Comparing
Spreadym with Classic Excel
We focus on core business planning technologies and highlight Spreadym key advantages.
Scalable
Information in Spreadym is stored on a cloud server, which means that the volume of data is limited only by the user's wish. The user can upload all the necessary data series through Excel via the usual filters.
Smart and Error Check
Users can enter information in Spreadym in both fixed and flexible forms. All data in the final report will be displayed in proper places, because Spreadym can recognize data and sort it into categories. If a user enters data with an error, Spreadym will warn about it.
Dynamic
Spreadym supports multidimensional information structuring. Users can change the categorization of accounting items in special directories on their own. All changes will be immediately applied to all calculation models.
Flexible privacy setups
Spreadym enables users to set up access to even an individual data set. For example, a user can only have rights to edit a certain data array.
A team work in one place and at the same time
Spreadym allows users to work collaboratively on editing Excel spreadsheets. The software tracks of all changes made by users and allows them to return to a variety of versions of the document saved on the server.
Integrable
Based on REST API, Spreadym combines data arrays from different software used in an organization into a single system. This approach makes it possible to establish stable and permanent connections between a range of separate systems.
Limited storage of information
Working with large tables in Excel can be challenging. As a result splitting data between sheets or files is required.
Heavily reliant on human input and has a lack of control
All records in Excel are created by people, which means that even the most experienced employees can make mistakes. Changing spreadsheet forms by adding a row or a column can shift formulas and cause errors in calculations.
Static and has a limited depth
If you need to go deep into detailed analytics, you need to create additional directories and build links between them. Such changes can only be made manually. The distribution of changes to all company's models also implies manual work.
Limited security protection
Excel provides limited options for moderating user access to information. For example, you can either completely prohibit from viewing a file or a sheet, or prevent editing them.
No collaborative work option
Excel does not allow work in collaboration on a file. If several employees are working with a file in turn, it will be very difficult to track at which stage changes have occurred.
Ad-hoc tasks
Excel interacts with third-party software with a range of limitations. Although it can be possible to download information from corporate software to an Excel spreadsheet, there will be hardly realized steady exchange of data among two systems.

Comparing Spreadym with Classic Enterprise Performance Management System (EPM)
Rapid implementation
Implementation of Spreadym takes several weeks. Before the start, we recommend reviewing all business processes in the organization and building a long-term development strategy. However, if you can automate the business on your own, nobody can stop you.
Savings on the staff of developers
Making changes to directories, categories, calculations and business logic in Spreadym does not require the involvement or hiring of a team of developers. All these changes can be made by those employees who have the appropriate access rights.
Flexible and easy to setup
Spreadym allows ordinary users to setup all configurations on their own. Users can check and adjust formulas, dimensions, business logic and implement all of the amendments that are needed.
Transparent calculations for ordinary users
It is very easy to look at all the calculations that describe corporate business logic in Spreadym. The interaction with Spreadym is realized in Excel, so users with special access can introduce any adjustments when it is necessary.
The implementation may last a year
Implementation of complex EPM systems can take from several months to 1 year. Before the digital transformation, it is necessary to audit the software used in the company and restructure some business processes.
Extra spending on implementation
Ordinary employees do not have access to making changes in calculations, categorization and dimensions. This task can only be solved by the intention of both developers and consultants.
Sophisticated configurations
The implementation of EPM can only be done by a team of consultants and developers. This process undermines repacking an initially complex system for individual business needs.
A system that needs special service
All amendments in calculations, dimentions or business logic can be made only by developers using coding.
