Clintel identified a growing need in drug development: enabling clinical development organizations to comply with FDA draft guidance on risk-based monitoring principles. They saw the potential to develop easy-to-use tools that could also improve quality and significantly reduce costs. The FDA advocates alternatives to regular, frequent onsite visits and verification of all data, which involve costly travel and provide little added benefit. Instead, they recommend approaches that identify risks to patient safety by utilizing critical data elements gathered in clinical data systems as a method of determining which sites warrant additional attention from clinical research associates (CRAs). The problem lies in getting that information to the right people at the right time, and in their language. Despite these issues, spreadsheets have become the default report technology for many business users because they have simply had no other option.

The company, which operates four different online shopping sites, was experiencing rapid growth and needed a way to keep up with increased reporting demands without having to hire additional staff. The analytics team was using Microsoft Access and Excel to meet reporting needs, but the demand was quickly outstripping what the team could produce using these tools. For a typical request, the team would pull data out of the Microsoft SQL Server database and then create pivot tables in Excel.
