Sick of spreadsheets?

Monitoring your third-parties by using an Excel is great for a small start-up business, however, there are some limitations to Excel, such as:

• It’s not secure.
• It has no audit log, so you don’t know who changed what, from what and when.
• Countless emails have to be sent to create interaction.
• Excel doesn’t chase or email anyone. Spreadsheets sit idly by as deadlines come and go
• It doesn’t do very much on its own.
• It doesn’t trigger anything automatically. Reporting has to be built manually Therefore there is a lot of manual updating
• Finally, someone in the business made it, they will forever support it and what if that person leaves?

You may be like “Julie” and find that after using the program for a couple of years, it starts to generate its own work and you need to look into a Vendor Risk Management platform.
