Excel Server is a network-based Enterprise Information Platform that integrates MS Excel and MS SQL Server, allowing for easy implementation and deployment of business processes in a user-friendly, DIY fashion. It also functions as an EAI product.
Excel Server smartly leverages the friendly and efficient MS Excel user interface, and the powerful data management capability of MS SQL Server. Users can define business logic, design data report templates, and process business data, all in MS Excel. This process lowers the learning curve and the maintenance costs of the whole system.
All business data and logic are centrally stored and managed in MS SQL Server, and powerful workflow support makes Excel Server a perfect EAI platform. The workflow chain is data-driven and integrates closely into the overall business process. The real-time progress of the workflow processing can be traced and monitored at any time.
Excel Server supports flexible and inter-connected data sources within and across organization boundaries, securing the data integrity of the whole enterprise. The "data fetcher" and "data writer" tools make data cross-referencing an easy task, minimizing data redundancy and maintenance costs.
The authorization and authentication features in Excel Server are carefully designed to make business processes run in a highly secure environment, adaptable to future organizational structural changes. Excel Server can also process business logic and data directly on the Web, making the organization's business extensible to every place where an Internet connection is available.
Excel Server supports cluster-based deployment and centralized system administration, making it an effective and efficient software platform for businesses of all sizes.
