Governance and control for your Excel models

Keep the flexibility of Excel, and give IT the control it needs.

Business teams build their most important models in Excel because they can change them themselves. That importance is also why IT and management don’t want critical processes running on loose spreadsheets.

Excelerant gives those workbooks the controls any production system has: versions, access rights, an audit trail and reproducible results. The people who built the models keep maintaining them, without waivers or exceptions to your IT policies.

One place for every model

Business-critical workbooks live in one place instead of on laptops, shared drives and e-mail. You can see which models are used, by whom and how often.

Version management

Every change is a new version, and every version is kept. Compare two versions, choose which one is live from which date, and roll back in one step.

Reproducible results

Every calculation records the version that produced it, so any figure can be reproduced later. Saved calculations keep their inputs and outputs and can be replayed.

Audit trail

Who ran what, when and with which version is logged for every calculation. In a shared workbook, every change is recorded with who made it and when.

Building separate from using

Modellers work on the next version while users run the released one and can only enter inputs. Formulas and VBA change only through a new version that has been tested.

Access by role, down to the cell

Roles decide who can view, run, change or manage each model. Access rules can go down to a sheet or a range of cells, even in a shared live workbook.

Personal data and retention

Mark which sheets or ranges hold personal data; those cells are masked in downloads. Set how long saved calculations are kept, after which they are archived, deleted or anonymised.

Export without formulas

Exports contain values only, never formulas, and can be digitally signed. An export only contains what that person may see.
