How many people in most government positions are using Excel?
SaaS and mobile has taken over many apps. We sell SaaS to business and govt clients where most end users are either on a browser or a mobile app. There is a Windows application (path dependent history) but it is almost vestigial for configuration/management.
- alkonaut 6d agoof people with a laptop? Maybe half (Just a guess). But most of those are not using it for anything complex. But it doesn't matter, it's that 1% of excel users and their sheet that is the problem. You'll find where it is WHEN you try to phase out excel. Not before. The report will be "I can no longer run our weekly report thing because google sheets/liberoffice doesn't run the macro and now we can't update the schedule for the drivers and they're angry, please advise". The solution, invariably, is not to throw a contractor at the problem and write a web service for it. It's to just let that sheet keep working another decade and pay the excel license. It's much much cheaper. But it also means that the long tail of Excel stays.
