IS IT FINALLY TIME TO DITCH EXCEL?

10 REASONS WHY LEADING DATA CENTERS ARE SWITCHING TO DCIM SOFTWARE
Introduction
In the early days of data centers, Excel spreadsheets offered a way for data center professionals to organize and manage information about the relatively simple infrastructure.
However, as data centers grew more complex and distributed with more data to manage, the limitations of Excel became increasingly apparent
Today, the pain points of Excel – being manual, time-consuming, and error-prone – have reached a tipping point. These shortcomings have driven data center managers to seek out a more modern solution in Data Center Infrastructure Management( DCIM) software.
As a leader in second-generation DCIM software, we have the privilege of collaborating with some of the best data center managers in the world. Every day, we hear comments like:“ Moving away from manual data entry and management via multiple spreadsheets is a thing of the past we’ d never go back to.” – Greg Rybak, Data Center Senior Analyst, Wiley
In this eBook, we present the top ten reasons why leading data center professionals are ditching their spreadsheets and embracing DCIM software. Is it time you considered doing the same?
Fast, centralized, accurate relational database with web interface vs. file sharing
In modern large organizations, many distributed teams need fast and easy access to information about data center infrastructure in order to perform their duties effectively. Excel’ s limitations in information sharing and collaboration hinder efficient planning and operations. In contrast, DCIM software provides data center ops, IT, facilities, and other teams with centralized, real-time access to critical infrastructure data. • PRESENTED BY
