Frequently Asked Questions About My Spreadsheet Solutions Development

Who I Am/What I Do?

I work with individuals and organisations to cost-effectively leverage Microsoft Excel for their business data management/decision making, so they can do what they do with less effort, at less cost, in less time and using less resources. This boosts their productivity, and helps them retain more of their revenue as profits.

Who I Serve?

Owners of Small Businesses – Restaurants/Bars, Hotels, Hospitals, Factories, Consultants etc; Decision Makers/Job Holders in Corporations – Materials Managers, Sales/Marketing Analysts, Financial Analysts/Accountants, Project Engineers; And Anyone desiring to make BETTER sense – and use – of data!

What I Can Do for You?

1. Automation – I develop Excel VB driven spreadsheet software – with friendly Graphical User Interfaces(click here to view a custom data entry form and intuitive user interface in one of my apps) – to make your data handling, analysis and report generation less difficult/time consuming and at the same time more accurate and useful.

2. Optimisation – I review existing workbooks for improvements and with the client’s agreement incorporate modifications/additions using appropriate advanced Excel functions and Excel VB programming where necessary.

3. Coaching – I offer Power User™ Experiential Coaching and User Support services in Excel (and Excel VB Programming).

How I Work?

a). Online – You can send me your data and the report layout you use(or that you want) and I will develop an application that will generate the report(s) you want.

b). On-Site – You can bring me in to work with you/study your work processes and develop the most suitable application that will help you achieve your purpose (terms apply).

c). I Empower You – While working on your project, I will gladly share my expertise with you – or any member(s) of your team. This way, you end up with in-house expertise to maintain the application I develop after I am gone. I build my applications for the "future" by working with clients to anticipate changes they expect to occur in their work over time, and incorporate interfaces that allow users make adjustments.

Why I Work This Way?

Because I want my clients to see that their interests will ALWAYS be protected, and their needs always MET. This way they know that they have gotten a worthwhile bargain – and will be more likely to (a). Engage me again and/or (b). Tell others about me.

Why MS Excel ?

Because MS Excel is already on your PC. It therefore becomes much easier and CHEAPER to train your people to use the applications I develop(complete with PDF or browser based user guides containing screenshots and detailed notes) than if they had to learn to use an off-the-shelf commercial application.

Why You Need Me?

I am not a programmer. Like you, I am a user – only I have developed my skills in Excel Visual Basic programming combined with extensive knowledge of many time/cost-saving advanced functions of MS Excel.

As a result, I am able to develop professional quality Excel Software that help YOU achieve levels of productivity that you would normally have imagined IMPOSSIBLE. I am driven by a vision to make my Excel software boost clients’ productivity, by solving their data handling/report generation problems so quickly and effortlessly, that they feel like they’re in "heaven"!

NB: I don’t need to be an expert in your field to help you.

And that’s because I have you. You will tell me what you do, how you do it, and what you WANT TO DO with Excel to make life easier for you,and those you work with. I will then use my knowledge, skills and experience, in conjunction with guidance to develop a 100% custom, automated spreadsheet application that meets your needs. A conventional programmer willing to do the foregoing, would be hard to find/pay.
