What is the benefit of using a business analytics platform? (Over Excel?)

There are several benefits of using business data analysis platform over Microsoft Excel or other manual reporting methods: Time-saving: It frees up the finance team from time-consuming reporting tasks by automating entire processes, allowing for faster reporting, consolidation, and customization. Accuracy: Data is pulled directly into the platform which ensures accuracy and reduces the risk of errors that can occur when maintaining and reworking static spreadsheets. Standardization: It enforces standardization across financial statements, budgets and reports to ensure consistency and enables comparisons across different periods. Collaboration: It enables teams to collaborate and work simultaneously in a secure and auditable environment. This can improve communication and reduce the risk of data discrepancies. Reporting: It provides advanced reporting capabilities, such as customizable templates and interactive dashboards. This makes it easier to visualize data and identify patterns and trends. Security: It provides better security features than Excel, including data encryption, user access controls, and audit trails. This can help protect sensitive financial data from unauthorized access or modification. Customizable: You can add calculations to the statements such as EBITA, margins and ratios. While Excel can be a useful financial reporting tool, a complete suite of analysis, financial statement and forecasting tools can help businesses streamline their financial reporting processes , improve accuracy, and make better, faster decisions based on real-time data.
