Business Data the Way Business Users Want it: In Excel
If there's a lingua franca of business, it's Microsoft Excel, installed on more than 90 percent of desktop computers worldwide and used for reporting by more than 58 percent of business professionals in the Fortune 500. So it should come as no surprise that when business users want to view, drill into, manipulate and graph enterprise information, a great majority of them want that information in Excel. With Actuate's e.Spreadsheet Option, that's exactly what you can give them: Live business data delivered within easy-to-use and familiar Web-based Excel spreadsheets, with all formatting, formulas, and graphs intact. No reformatting from flat .CSV files. No custom scripting. No querying, cutting, pasting, or manual data entry. And no formula recalculations-just instant, complete information direct from the source, pre-formatted and ready to go.

Actuate e.Spreadsheet Option delivers fully functional Excel spreadsheets.
Users can take advantage of Live Hyperlinks and multi-directional drilling capabilities to navigate wherever they need to go - whether within a single spreadsheet or across multiple spreadsheets and reports in your application. With all formulasformulas and graphs embedded and saved within each e.Spreadsheet, users can easily perform what-if analysis and drill-down operations. And unlike other enterprise reporting tools that treat reports and spreadsheets as separate and incompatible tools, e.Spreadsheet Option gives you the ability to combine spreadsheet and reporting data in a variety of ways to meet your customers' unique business needs. All of which means your customers get your application information just the way they want it, and you can roll out new application functionality rapidly and with no coding.

"Invisible" Spreadsheet Reporting With No Training Required
With Actuate e.Spreadsheet Option, enterprise reports blend right into your application—without requiring downloads, applets, or plug-ins. Fully customizable spreadsheets make easy to maintain your product's look and feel and reinforce your branding, while familiar Excel functions make it easy for users to perform drilling, calculations, and data presentation operations with no new training. The result: You can deliver highly relevant, actionable information "invisibly," right inside your application and with zero end-user training or ramp-up time required.

Server-Controlled Excel Management
Today's spreadsheet operations tend to be decentralized and ad hoc, with no guarantee that users are working with the freshest data and no access control, coordinated versioning, or archiving to ensure data integrity and security. You can enable all of that to change with e.Spreadsheet
