The Web browser has become one of the most widely used mediums in commercial applications for the dispersion of business reports. The Web allows for scalability, therefore the same is required of Web reporting solutions.

One such reporting solution is ExcelWriter V4, a powerful server-side application developed by SoftArtisans. ExcelWriter is designed to generate presentation-quality reports in native Microsoft Excel file format that can be opened in the client´s Web browser. ExcelWriter accomplishes this without having Microsoft Excel installed on the server, which allows for an unlimited number of simultaneous end users.

Now, you may be thinking just how much training is this going to require for my staff? If your users were familiar with how to use Microsoft Excel then additional training would not be necessary. One of the major benefits of using ExcelWriter is that users can sort, manipulate and alter spreadsheets on their computer in the Microsoft Excel environment that they are already comfortable with.
