With our automatic converter, you can migrate charts quickly and easily with just a click, ensuring a seamless transition.

This saves countless clicks and leads to perfect texts in less time.

... what happens to your reports based on think-cell?
No problem – no risk. Existing think-cell charts and links remain intact, as empower® creates copies instead of replacing the originals. From the project start, we closely support you with all questions related to chart creation, conversion, and Excel links. Together, we’ll transition your reporting gradually and smoothly.
... how to handle resistance from users?
Resistance is natural in any transition project, regardless of the software being replaced. With management’s backing, we make it clear to all users: The switch from think-cell to empower® is not a matter of personal preference. It is a strategic business decision driven by financial efficiency – just as many other corporations have already decided.
