No-Code Configuration turns Spreadsheets into an Opportunity

Challenge

Spreadsheets are a pervasive presence within most organizations, often housing vital information even after implementation of applications like LIMS and ELN. Spreadsheet flexibility, functionality, and compatibility with scientific data and processes make them a natural choice for scientists.

Impact

Without proper control and management, spreadsheets can lead to compliance issues and impede effective data visualization/analysis. Ultimately spreadsheets can negatively impact decision-making processes within an organization.

Outcome

By recognizing the value of spreadsheets and offering a controlled environment for their integration, SciCord aims to address these challenges and achieve the following outcomes:

• Minimize setup and administrative effort: Implementing SciCord’s solution takes weeks instead of months, reducing the time and resources required for deployment.
• Intuitive Interface: Users are already familiar with the spreadsheet interface, which minimizes the learning curve and facilitates ease of use.
• Minimize change management effort: Users tend to prefer spreadsheets and have more control over their data. By embracing spreadsheets instead of fighting them, organizations can reduce resistance to change and facilitate smoother adoption.
• Compliance: SciCord’s solution includes validation documentation and ensures compliance with 21CFR Part11 regulations, reducing compliance risks associated with spreadsheet usage.
• Faster Time to Value: Organizations get started quickly with essential features to capture value. Plug and play spreadsheets enable continuous improvement and increase value over time.
