Our Speciality
Trigger Software specialise in highly innovative programs that release critical business information imprisoned in unmanageable spreadsheets. Many of our projects involve converting workgroup spreadsheets into enterprise-strength solutions that allow you to access, calculate and control your data, unlocking its potential for your business.
If you are capturing original data into spreadsheets as the first entry point into your core business processes then you may be risking your business on the integrity of those spreadsheets and the fragility of manual inputs.
The penetration of spreadsheets within today’s business environment has brought both great advances and great problems to enterprise. The flexible but unstructured spreadsheet approach, often without house guidelines or rules can lead to information constriction on a grand scale.
The enterprise has different needs to the lone spreadsheet architect, and it is here that the spreadsheet becomes a problem, siphoning off corporate data and processing logic to the workstation, making the implementation of business rules impossible. The cost of this flexibility is loss of control.
We prefer to automate the regular and facilitate the irregular so you use the time saved to put your spreadsheet licenses to work doing what they do best, flexible analysis, trend spotting, charting and ad hoc reporting.
Costings, models, budgets, workbooks, whatever you want to call them we've carried out post mortems on hundreds of them and found that there is often a common anatomy.
25% original data, 25% replicated data just for the purpose of viewing or printing. 30% links to other sheets or lookup functions, 10% errors, 10% usage notes.
Trigger Software has over a decade of experience in converting spreadsheet applications to enterprise database systems. We have devised a number of techniques and calculation engines along the way and you will be amazed how lateral thinking can unchain you from your spreadsheet hell.
