IT budgets are complex. Between unexpected costs, scattered spreadsheets, the endless bargaining, and increasing pressure from the C-suite, managing IT finances can feel like an uphill battle. Yet, many organizations are still relying on outdated, manual processes that leave them with more questions than answers.
It’s time for a smarter approach.
The Spreadsheet Struggle: Why It’s Holding IT Back
If your IT budgeting process involves copying and pasting numbers into spreadsheets, double-checking formulas, and hoping everything adds up, you’re not alone. But this approach comes with serious risks—manual errors, disconnected data, and an ongoing struggle to justify IT investments.
Spreadsheets can’t provide real-time insights, leaving IT leaders in the dark when it comes to tracking costs, forecasting spend, or demonstrating value to the business. When finance asks for clarity, scrambling to pull together reports isn’t just stressful—it’s ineffective.
