Yes, and with the new 2013, it has some good OData stuff too.
Whilst this is a blog post by the party who have created the library, I also disagree with some of their assertions.
Hosting it in a sharepoint type thing, with track changes on, multiple users work quite well indeed. Not to mention that if someone is doing modifies or deletes, I'd much, much rather have that kind of history (hell even git/svn) than having a database without an audit setup. Given the amount of work involved in setting up an audit system, merging it into the excel UI they've just created, I really can't see the point he is making, or where he is coming from.
In fact I wouldn't really suggest people moved away from Excel for the volume of data he speaks of ether, it is very easy to backup (host on sharepoint or similar) incredibly easy to share with the people work on it.
What I would say for it being time to move is when you have a relationship then its damn well time to move.
