While Excel is flexible and useful for smaller companies, it becomes inadequate as data complexity and company size grow. Triggers for switching include data security, verification issues, multi-user collaboration challenges, and difficulty handling large data volumes. BI tools provide more scalability and features. The transition requires careful planning, starting small and expanding over time, with success depending on early stakeholder involvement, training, management support, and resources.
