The Web

Traditionally production reports have been printed on paper. But today organizations are required to satisfy the information demands of a growing number of both internal and external stakeholders. There can be a huge strategic benefit associated with deploying information on the web from an improved supply chain through to a greater investor confidence.

Within Microsoft Excel you can now natively publish reports directly to the web. The ReportExcelerator enhances this functionality by automatically publishing in a non interactive mode a Web page that you've already put on the Web. The data that is posted to the web site is a snapshot of the data at the time of posting. The whole process is simple cost effective and requires no programming or IT resource. Within excel you can add Real time data, Hyperlinks, Charting, Calculations, Formatting and then, prior to publishing  you can view the page by using Web page preview. This truly is a sensible web publication option.

If data is placed on the web, users can access and interact with your data without having Excel or expensive third party addins installed on their computers. All that users need is a Web browser and access to the Internet or intranet. When you combine different types of data on a single Web page, users can view, analyze, and calculate all the data they need in one place.

The ReportExcelerator gives you the power of web enabling your reports but without the hassle of learning a new technology.

After the one time setup the ReportExcelerator will fully automate the emailing of the reports at the predefined frequency. The result is a large savings in the time all employees take to get their information. All reports are delivered when and where they are needed.

The email subject line can be altered for each report giving the user visibility of which reports they are being sent ensuring they focus on the information that is important to them.

The ReportExcelerator can automatically print any number of copies of the Excel report to any of the network printers visible to the machine the ReportExcelerator is installed on. In this way when users turn yup to work, begin there shift or prepare for a meeting they can collect the latest information from their local printer. This improves operation efficiency as all staff have the potential to be better informed and prepared for important decisions.
