A friend of mine who works in finance said everything requires Excel.
I once talked with the CFO where I work for a while who also told me there frameworks and industry expectations on how Microsoft updates Excel, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act for example.
We had encryption standards that needed Excel to use FIPS 140-2, which Excel supports.

Totally not AI. It’s Excel or legacy code writen in Cobol, Assembly, Lisp, maybe even Fortran.

Excel and CRMs like Salesforce which makes A SHIT TON OF MONEY for what’s essentially data bases with extra steps.

I work in internal finance for a large financial firm.
What isn’t Excel is Power BI… Which we really just use to export to Excel to manipulate to create another Power BI dashboard. Even things you’d think would be automated have someone manually adjusting some spreadsheet for someone else.
We’ve not really used AI.

Got a new job. Can confirm everything is Excel. I’m glad I’m not in the back end of that.
