Low Level Entrepreneurs at this level have purchased computers for most of their employees and might have purchased a network server. Unfortunately, their employees use the computers as replacements for adding machines. Their business processes using the computers are essentially the same as they would be without the computers. This situation usually occurs due to a lack of understanding of the capabilities that computers possess. It is also due to a lack of training, at all levels of the organization.
Spreadsheets are awesome tools.
Unfortunately, in many organizations they are used in the wrong way and for the wrong reasons. I have seen situations where four or five employees enter the same data into different spreadsheets for different purposes, resulting in inefficiencies and increased risk of error. I have also seen situations where spreadsheets are used to create invoices. The invoices are printed and then handed to the accountant who manually enters them into the accounting system. Then the invoice clerk deletes the invoice data in the spreadsheet so it can be used for the next period.
