FEATURES & BENEFITSWhat is Morphit and why use it instead of MS Excel?

What is Morphit?A spreadsheet that provides an elastic

and robust analysis and templating environment

• Key benefits over MS Excel– Accuracy– Flexibility– Productivity– Supportability

The ‘elastic’ templating environment

Accuracy• Field-level formula

– Readable-fields– No cell-based copy-

paste transcription errors

– Familiar MS Excel-like functions

• Cell-level over-ride– Cell-marker– Reversible knock-

outField-based auditing and minimised mistakes

FlexibilityIdeal templating

environment• Familiar

Excel-like formula• Elastic

cascade of row number changes

• Relational ‘data linking’ provides

powerful analytical capabilities

Elastic templates

Productivity• Template builder

– Build templates faster (days not weeks)– Useful across a wide range of conditions– Integrate data access and analysis

minimising complexity– Instructions for workflow and usability

• Morphit user– Eliminate transcription errors between

sheets and applicationsAgility maximises customer satisfaction

Supportability• Maximise re-use with elastic templates• Eliminate VBA

– Access external data (files, databases etc)– Instructions panel

• Extend the capability– Statistics– Fitting– ...

Replace many Excel templates and applications with a single Morphit binder
