By Kimberly Murray


How businesses ever coped without computers is a mystery. Without computer technology, no modern business, regardless of size, can hope to be efficient and to compete effectively. They are used to create business documents, to pay accounts, to communicate with clients and suppliers and to keep records, to name just a few common uses. But essentially, businesses focus on numerical data. With someone experienced in MS Excel consulting Sacramento business can make maximum use of their data and increase their competitiveness.

Spreadsheets are not modern inventions. Even in ancient times businessmen and many others used grids to perform complex calculations. Computer based spreadsheets, however, are extremely sophisticated tools that can manipulate data in many different ways. Sadly, too many people think that it requires expert mathematical and statistical proficiency and experience in order to use these programs. This is not true. Anyone can learn to use spreadsheets.

Even people that struggle with very basic mathematical calculations can use spreadsheets productively. They can use templates, which are ready made business forms. All the user has to do is to fill in the relevant information in the spaces provided and all the calculations are performed automatically. In this way it is possible to produce professional invoices, budgets, sales orders and a host of other useful documents.

But spreadsheets are also very powerful mathematical and statistical tools in the hands of programmers, mathematicians and engineers, for example. They can create extremely complex formulae that are used to create complicated business models. These, in turn, are of great value when business decisions must be made. Using these advanced functions require a high level of skill and that is why companies often hire a spreadsheet consultant or programmer.

These consultants demand very high fees and they can do so because they have to have multiple skills. They need to be programmers, skilled statisticians and mathematicians and they need to understand the business model of their client in order to satisfy their particular demands. Top consultants have years of experience and they inevitably help their clients to make better business decisions, thereby earning their high fees.

Businesses in general do not realize the potential value of all the information that they gather in time. They have invoices, quotations, expense sheets, tax records and a myriad of other documents that contain numerical data. Of course, this information is all stored in different places and in different formats. However, a good spreadsheet consultant can consolidate them and help businesses to plan their future direction.

When appointing a consultant, care should be taken to make sure that he is discreet. He will, after all, have access to sensitive business information. It is vital to insist upon references and to actually follow up on them. The consultant should also be able to submit a detailed proposal in which he stipulates the results that he will deliver and the time schedule within which these results will be produced.

When a business is able to use historical data to plan for the future, they often gain an edge over their competition. Spreadsheet consultants can help them gain this edge. They can certainly use and manipulate existing data in order to create new sets of information that can be extremely useful.
