At xOverTime, we help you streamline your reporting process by putting a cloud database behind the use of Excel®. You may be thinking, “connecting Excel to a database is nothing new, we use Excel to connect to our databases all the time.” The difference is that we help Excel users feel as comfortable establishing a cloud database to support their Excel use, as they are in using Excel itself. xOverTime allows users to create and interact with their database without leaving Excel!
Now, if you’ve been around Excel users often, you know they can do amazing things with Excel. We have seen virtually every business process in a company managed through the use of Excel. Engineers and marketing staff are especially creative at pushing all types of limits on complexity and volume of data. Even with enterprise systems in place, there always seems to be a CSV export to Excel to control final analytics and produce a report for a VP.
Our goal at xOverTime is to allow Excel users to establish and manage their database from within Excel, and also support their various and sometimes complex uses in a way that is as intuitive as it is to use Excel itself. To meet this challenge, we have developed patented technology that has proven to be successful for our users in various applications. It’s this patented technology that’s truly the special sauce behind xOverTime.
Using our patented technology, we make it easy for Excel users to create a cloud database in minutes, some would even say seconds. There are no tables to manage or database software and servers to set up. Eyes open wide when users see their data instantly appear from xOverTime in the cloud, right back into their workbook. They immediately see that they can share their data without having to share their workbook calculations and analytics. A VP can have a simple one-tab report with a refresh button and right away get the latest results he’s looking for, and with xOverTime there is no need for an IT administrator or a team of business/IT liaisons to constantly maintain the data structure, metadata and Business Intelligence (BI) cubes.
So we don't just connect Excel to a database. We connect Excel to a database in which Excel users can intuitively create and interact with the database, effectively eliminating the need for database programmers. Check out how our special sauce can create value and security for you and your organization.
