Lawyers must work with reliable information. Using spreadsheets instead of case management software might appear to be the cheaper solution in the short term, but in the long-term, it is nowhere near as cost-effective. False information can not only result in financial losses but also influence legal case development and even the result. Therefore mistakes must be avoided as much as possible.
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel does not provide effective data quality control. Data is entered manually and a user can enter any data. Excel also does not have any duplicate control mechanisms, so it is very easy to create duplicate data. Research made by Dartmouth College showed that 94% of Excel documents have mistakes! With spreadsheets, you have little control. As updates are made, the possibility of errors grows. Information can easily be overwritten or kept out of sync, quickly reducing the dependability of the spreadsheets.
