Excel Server integrates MS Excel and MS SQL Server into a network-based Enterprise Information Platform, on which business processes can be implemented and deployed easily in a business-oriented and “DIY” manner. Its highly scalable architecture makes it suitable for both SMEs and huge companies.
No professional IT knowledge is required for using Excel Server to build the information system for your own business. Excel Server smartly leverages the friendly and efficient user interface of MS Excel, and the powerful data management capability of the large-scale relational database like MS SQL Server. Users define business logic, design data report templates, and process business data all in MS Excel, which lowers the learning curve and the maintenance costs of the whole system. The business data and logic is stored and managed in MS SQL Server.
Its powerful workflow engine makes Excel Server a perfect Enterprise Application Integration platform. Each work item on the workflow chain is data-driven, and closely integrated into the overall business process. The real-time progress of the workflow processing can be traced and monitored at any time.
In Excel Server, all data sources can be inter-connected and referenced within and across the organization boundary, securing the data integrity for the whole enterprise. The “data fetcher” and “data writer” make data cross-referencing an easy task, and minimize the data redundancy and maintenance cost.
Flexible and carefully designed authorization and authentication make business process run in a highly secure environment, and adaptable to future organization structural changes.
With the Enterprise edition of Excel Server, users can also process business logic and data directly on the Web via the Intranet or the Internet, making the organization’s business activities extensible to every place where an Internet connection is available.
Excel Server supports cluster-based deployment and centralized system administration.
