Easily? Yeah, right, after you pay \d{5,} dollars, after years of development, you get something that hopefully enables to run your business more effective.

I think excel is here to stay along with the email. Article reads like: "use this instead of email" (and buy from us). Everything has their place under the sun, but excel is as good as it is bad.
