Top Reason for AI Analytics: Spreadsheets Lack Visibility 

Did you know that 62% of companies still rely on spreadsheets for their insights? This is concerning, as spreadsheets are extremely time-consuming and prone to human-error. In fact, a single error in a spreadsheet can have disastrous consequences, causing businesses to lose customers and opportunities. Yet, almost 90% of spreadsheets contain an error. 

Additionally, spreadsheets lack the ability to process large volumes of data, perform predictive analysis, or identify data patterns. This limits the insights businesses can gain from their data, making it harder to make informed decisions.
