    Many businesses use excel and spreadsheets to keep track of their business, however, this is not the best solution and can actually be more a harm.

    Some Common Spreadsheet Dangers:

    • Manual Sorting
    • Version Control
    • No Audit Trail
    • Manual formulas
    • Fraud concerns
    • Manual Data Entry
    • Inconsistent Reporting

    Data control with spreadsheets is a headache. Here’s why:

    • Spreadsheet knowledge is often tied to personnel
    • Introduces the challenge of “version control”
    • Minimal security and access control options
    • Spreadsheets do not scale well with growing business
    • Have to incorporate formulas for changing tax law by hand

    Data Integrity:

    Dirty data impacts multiple parts of the business.  It can result in:

    • bad reports
    • inaccurate asset values
    • inaccurate asset courts
    • bad budget info
    • bad depreciation calculations

    How can Sage Fixed Assets eliminate the risks of spreadsheets?

    A Solution will eliminate risk by:

    • Putting checks and balances on how data is entered into your asset registry
    • Removing the ability to have to manually manipulate data (closing the door on human error)
    • Maintaining data integrity and saving time and errors by automating processes

    Fixed Assets solutions should include:

    • up to date tax laws and depreciation methods to run and post depreciation
    • customizable fields and smartlists to control data entry-preventing bad data at the source
    • user permissions structure to ensure data security

    Sage Fixed Assets is designed to Integrate with Sage ERP out of the box:

    • Sage Fixed Assets offer import/export capabilities to easily import assets from ERP systems and export GL entries
    • Automated, out of the box ERP integrations are provided for Sage ERP users

    Remember, spreadsheets are a good…but they are only that, a starting point. They have limited security control options and creating your business reports by hand from a spreadsheet is time consuming and is prone to error. Consider investing in a dedicated fixed asset solution and integrating it into your ERP system!
