Performing Important Calculations

updated 2 Jun 2017

Problem

• A series of spreadsheets calculates important information.
• Not clear enough. Formulae are difficult to review and maintain, hidden away in cells.
• Not reliable. Errors always creep in when repeatedly copying changes from one cell to thousands.
• IP Vulnerability. When you send someone a spreadsheet they have all the calculations. And you cannot protect your Intellectual Property.

All the above have a direct impact on scalability.

Example

LiveDataset supports the configuration of calculation trees that are transparent, reliable, protected, and scalable.

This simple example shows sales data being aggregated.

How It Works

• LiveDataset calculations are defined in one place. No more copying formulae.
• Data structures are organized like a database without needing SQL or coding skills.
• Calculations are performed on highly-scalable, secure servers.

Benefits

• Calculations are much more reliable as they can be easily audited.
• Reduces risk to intellectual property in proprietary algorithms.
• High scalability and resilience.
