Week 2- Microsoft Excel and Electronic Credit Cards


This week’s blog is all about the essentials of working and balancing any business. Last week I introduced the electronic credit card that would allow people to feel more at ease when they use their card. Shopping will become faster and more convenient when customer’s can just scan their phones and go. I’m sure the next question on everyone’s mind, is how is this great idea going to work. Well, before I reveal all the glorious details of my plan we have to start with how to organize all of the data for each company so that each bit of data is organized then complied into a format that will be universal for each company.
             How is that going to happen? Microsoft Excel spreadsheets is the simplest way to organize data and allow for the user to call all people that match a certain characteristic’s such as people who have over due budget’s or people who have just made a payments. This is made possible by the formula function. You can write an if statement stating that if the balance is higher than 0 hide it, and if the balance is below 0 then it will be highlighted in red. This way the banks can easily identify who is an asset and who is not. I am sure that banks have an automated system that would do this for them, however with the use of Microsoft Excel companies can easily attach the new card system with the old system. Thusly not causing mergence problems from the automated system with plastic cards to the electronic ones.
            I know the use of Excel for such a detailed idea is not the most common method for major companies to use, however, in order for technology to become more efficiently used using simple systems is the way to go! Stay tuned for next week’s input on how to make electronic credit cards!
