I don't have a good solution as my company is not far off. I just come here to commiserate together in the fact that businesses don't want to progress and it's shocking.
They are digitizing since they write it down in excel 😊
But to convince them to use excel at first start asking for their arguments about using paper.
Could be :
- that’s what we have always done
- we/the user can’t / don’t know how to input the data in excel first place
- paper is the reference we use and would use in case we need to justify
These could be good points or not, see what are they
Coach
Make a mistake at inputting the data and then proceed to show them the mistake would not happen if they had gone digital
Ofc there’s a risk of they just blaming you for it, but YOLO
First understand the problem, why they say no.
Is it:
- Money
- Security
- Lack of developer resources
- Ignorance
- Others?
Once you understand why,you can then decide what the solution needs to be, and whether it can be created.
