Should my CFO switch to Mac - MS Excel 2008

T

Thorlin

I am the VP of IT for a company, and a Mac user. I also use MS Office
2008. My CEO and CFO are looking to potentially make the switch to a
Mac and thusly use MS Office 2008. My concern is that Office 2008
doesn't support VBA or any of the many excel add-ins available on the
web. I was wondering what the fallout may be if I gave the green
light for the CFO and CEO to switch, given the need for financial
modeling done in excel. Should I be concerned?

Thorlin -

Yes, you should be concerned. Find out which Excel add-ins the CEO and CFO
use, if any, and which add-ins they might want to use in the future.
Consider an Intel Mac with Boot Camp, Fusion, or Parallels running Windows
XP or Vista in case the CFO needs Crystal Ball software or other
Windows-only software. Avoid the loss-of-job fallout.
