The recent discovery that the UK government was running its COVID-19 track-and-trace system via Microsoft Excel spreadsheets has raised a few eyebrows—especially from anyone who understands the strengths and limitations of the spreadsheet app.

We are joined this week by Mark Bodger and Chris Harman from ICit Business Intelligence. Both are experts in the world of financial and operational planning and make a living from moving businesses away from spreadsheet-based processes to sophisticated and specialised solutions. We chat about everything from our monogamous relationship with spreadsheets to the challenges and reputational damage your business faces being a tech laggard in your industry.
