Enterprise Spreadsheet Management:
A Hyperbook
Skip to the Details: How To Ordert's time
once again for the annual budget exercise. The templates have gone out, and you wonder — when should I start filling it out?
Should I get started right away? Or should I at least wait for the first recall, so I won't waste my time again this year?
Or you're managing the proposal process, and you need inputs from all the task leaders. You send out the templates, hoping that they contain no errors this time. They don't, but then Finance changes some of the enterprise-wide load factors that are built into your templates. And some of the task leaders call to let you know that there aren't enough rows in one of the template sections for their needs. So you give them a special version, and resolve to handle theirs by hand.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Enterprise Spreadsheet Management, downloadable hyperbook Edition shows you another approach to gathering and managing enterprise data using spreadsheets.
This Hyperbook — available on line or as a stand-alone Web site that you read with your Web browser — is packed with tips, techniques, tools and dozens of worked examples that show you:
