Spreadsheet Automation

We have been working with Excel since it was in Beta (not even available on PC) and Microsoft was a small company that few people had heard of.

Excel is an enormously capable piece of software, but can lead users into trouble when either the solution has had too many elements added on, or they try to use it as a database beyond the size at which it is easy to use. Because Excel is so easy to use, an Excel document can grow beyong all recognition and become unwieldy, but, more important, unauditable.

Our years of experience of Excel automation can help you improve your own solutions by combining a familiar Excel "front end" with a back end which may range from Microsoft Access to a major database management system such as SQL Server or Oracle. Used in combination with such a database, Excel can become a powerful management reporting tool, but can still let you capitalise on your users' existing knowledge base.
