My thought stemmed from reading the "Ask HN: What are examples of companies dying due to many people quitting?" post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32831701

it's "up to 22 billion over 10 years." So $2b/year once things get moving. They're still in testing, so likely less than that figure.

Based on these conversations, I'm curious what you think the chances are of the Army's IVAS program being implemented by September next '22 as they're suggesting.

Surprised nobody has mentioned this. There is a company called Boardwalktech with a tool called "Excel Cloud" which adds a native extension into Excel which includes a change log and (i think) realtime collaboration, among other things.

They call their underlying tool a "digital ledger" which sounds very blockchain-y, but it's not a distributed public ledger so there's no crypto here, just a centralized, Boardwalktech controlled ledger.

They're already integrated with some very big companies like Accenture, Ernst and Young, Coca-Cola, Mars, Facebook, etc etc.

Personally, I can't imagine company leaders really investing tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars leaving their processes in Excel and not instead buying a real system, but I'm not running all of the companies mentioned above.
