You may have efficient database systems for your stable standard processes,
but how many Excel lists do you have in parallel to work around deficits for those systems or lists simply for the classic flexible Excel cases?
Placing data files into a common storage space does not automatically mean that data know each other,
so how much time spent do you or your operational experts waste to synchronise data between lists?
Watch the video to see the real life !
but with multiple users it gets complicated.
The system is so open, flexibility can quickly become uncontrollable and agreements between users on best practice, format and filtering are not easily achievable in everyday work.
Whenever another user saves, the file looks different and macros or extensive formula can become a nightmare.
Certain business processes are pre-programmed and can be adapted to an extent, therefore some purpose-built applications may be sufficient.
If it fits, this is a quick solution for simple cases.
However, additional functionality, changes in business processes and individual requests are usually difficult and costly to achieve and implement.
The so-called “Virtual World” is a representation of the real world.
Thus, real people (often referred to as “users” by IT specialists) should be able
to map their real processes in the virtual world directly and in real time
without having to go through large loops of external programming and approval processes.
Extending Excel flexibility
- with multi-user workflow.
- change history and
- task specific permissions
Defined by the users themselves !
In conjunction with the current buzzword Digitalisation, it is often suggested that novel solutions envisioned by IT theorists could automatically lead to higher productivity. Therefore, they should be worth every penny.
As a consequence, internal company processes would have to be adapted to the software and, preferably, used in exactly the same way in every company in the world.
We instead believe
This is, why we want to go this new way of consideration with you.
It is said of Walt Disney that he sat back several times in his life and asked himself whether what he was doing was really helping people. He then radically turned around and started all over again.
Frustration
So this project also began out of a frustration. Once again, a painstakingly created database project had vanished into thin air because the world had moved on faster than expected and it simply could no longer meet the needs of the users.
New beginning
As an IT consultant, you can certainly continue to earn your “daily bread” with such projects,
but the yearning for a breakthrough into a new quality remains.
With JACAMAR we have developed a stable and reliable solution already and rolled it out successfully.
But this journey is far from being finished.
Feel invited to use it in your projects and (as well as a final user community or as IT consultant or programmer) contribute with more ideas on how to make the daily work with data even more efficient.
We are open to new partnerships.
