XLReporter is built on the Microsoft Open Office standard and provides the same “look and feel” of Microsoft Excel, a familiar environment of cell formulas, statistics, formatting, sorting, filtering, images and charts. It also provides features like analytics tailored to specific industries, automated reports, distribution e.g., email and on-demand reports from web browsers.
“Microsoft Excel is indisputably one of the most widely used applications. XLReporter propels users to ‘Go Beyond Excel’ and take the best of worksheet functionality and deliver it to a web browser,” explained Peter Kaprielian, CTO of SyTech. “This release provides more connectivity to our partners’ devices and software which is the first step in analyzing data”.
