Why Spreadsheets will not work

    • You need to share data accessed from different locations, with version control, to 2018 and beyond..
    • You need to monitor and report on action plans and timescales with follow-up capabilities
    • You need sustainable audit trails into the future – who did what and when?

IT Considerations - Software platforms:

    - Web hosted system (Software as a Service) - accessed by browser, no local code required
    - On-premises Microsoft ASP.NET - SQL Server or Oracle; also a Lotus Notes/Domino version
    • Company Intranet
    • Spreadsheet import for existing data saves time
    • Complements and integrates with ERP systems, as well as IUCLID5.
