Excel Server 2005 (Standard Edition) is an information platform built on Excel, MS SQL Server, and Windows OS. It simplifies MS Excel networking and EAI, making it an easy-to-use tool for businesses.
One of the most important features of the Excel Server 2005 is the Data Fetcher. This tool enables users to define multiple 'Data Fetchers' within an Excel template, which significantly boosts performance. Also, the data in current form/report can be used to update the previous form/reports under specific conditions using the Data writer.
Excel Server 2005 comes with the Workflow feature that enables Excel spreadsheets to pass around according to predefined procedures based on the distinguished access authorities and roles. Additionally, authorized users can easily access intended data via the 'Data Fetchers' and update previous form/reports via Data writer in every workflow task.
Another significant feature of Excel Server 2005 is the ability to integrate other database applications into the server through Outer data source. The tool also comes with a centralized management system for public data such as Organization, Employee, Role, Event Viewer, Backup and Restore, while Data Type, Data Selection, Keywords, Auto ID process, and Outer data source are managed separately.
Excel Server 2005 uses MS SQL Server2000 as the backend database management system, which ensures the smooth running of the system. It can be used for a LAN and supports a cluster system, offering users the flexibility and usability they need. Overall, Excel Server 2005 is a valuable tool that simplifies data management across different platforms.
