The spreadsheet VisiCalc was the first killer-app. The reason
for this is obvious; you don’t need to be a programmer
to use a spreadsheet. The nature of WYSIWYG-calculations makes
it easy for both individuals and businesses to create spreadsheets.
ExcelEverywhere
was developed with this same WYSIWYG philosophy in mind. ExcelEverywhere
converts Excel spreadsheets into web pages that look and function
in the same way as the original spreadsheet. When developing
ExcelEverywhere we have focused on the following:
Ease
of use. No programming, or experience of programming is required.
Mimicking of Excel behavior. The behavior of ExcelEverywhere
should mimic exactly the behavior of Microsoft Excel.
Coverage of all Excel functions. Currently, all but a few
advanced financial and statistical functions are supported.
Production of compact web pages. The resulting web page must
be compact in order to reduce download times.
Production of quick running web pages. The resulting page
must perform calculations quickly, even if the web page was
generated from a large advanced spreadsheet.
Support for a wide range of target environments: Windows,
Linux, UNIX, Macintosh, embedded systems like set-top boxes.
The resulting web pages must run on all browsers including
those launched within the last 2-3 years.
Benefits
Using
ExcelEverywhere will save you time and money and your customers
will receive increased service and better quality. Other key
benefits are:
ExcelEverywhere
makes interactive calculating web pages feasible. Coding calculating
web pages directly using JavaScript is very costly and time
consuming.
A 10-fold increase in productivity! The enormous gain in productivity
comes from being able to use Excel, with all of its built-in
functions, as a tool for developing calculating web pages.
Improved quality due to easier testing in Excel. Also, the
web pages created by ExcelEverywhere have been tested in a
wide variety of different browsers.
Quick and easy updates to web pages. The process of updating
your web pages is made both quicker and easier: simply update
the spreadsheet, run ExcelEverywhere, and then distribute
the new webpage.
Reduced consultancy fees. In-house personnel can use ExcelEverywhere,
no programming or advanced web skills are required. No need
for paying external consultant fees.
Suitability for all. ExcelEverywhere is designed to be suitable
for everyone to use, individuals, businesses, governments
and associations.
