XL - key benefits
XL combines the power and control of CODA with the familiarity and convenience of Excel – saving time and reducing costs by simplifying the output, manipulation, display, sharing and even input of your Financials data.
If your staff use Microsoft® Excel to gather or work with information that eventually ends up in CODA (and there are hardly any organizations that don’t) or to report on your Financials or CODA Buy 2gether data, then XL makes great sense. Rather than having to manually transfer data across – with all the associated error risks –, the users can stay in their familiar Excel environment and work from the spreadsheets they already have:
- Familiarity – capitalizing on the skills of your Excel “power users”
- Value – maximizing the return on investment in existing software
- Flexibility – easily preparing raw data for input or presenting CODA data for reports
- Speed – offering both bulk uploading and faster, more up-to-date reporting
- Reliability – avoiding the risks of errors that can arise from rekeying data
- Efficiency – needing only one, central version of each report, instead of separate versions for different levels of recipient
- Security – ensuring that each person viewing these shared reports can see only the data that their security profile entitles them to.
