Actuate e.Spreadsheet Designer is an easy-to-use report development environment for creating flexible and customisable Excel-based spreadsheet reports. Unlike other report development tools, e.Spreadsheet Designer offers a unique Excel-driven report creation paradigm, enabling a broad range of users to create reports in order to communicate business-critical information throughout the enterprise.

Reports created with the e.Spreadsheet Designer are deployed and delivered through the Actuate iServer, which provides a secure, centralised way of generating, managing and delivering Excel spreadsheet reports. From there, end-users receive fully functional spreadsheet reports, with formulas, graphics and formatting intact, that they can use their existing Excel skills to analyse and manipulate to meet their exact needs.

The result — anybody with basic Excel or Access knowledge can create and roll out fully functional Excel reports, at the same time the reports can be regulated and server-driven to ensure one version of the truth across the organisation.

e.Spreadsheet Designer enables speedy roll-out of enterprise spreadsheet reports, while users of every skill level get customised, personalised spreadsheets to meet their unique and fast-changing business challenges.

e.Spreadsheet Designer runs in standalone mode for developing e.Spreadsheet templates, which are then deployed as e.Spreadsheets with Actuate iServer and e.Spreadsheet Option at runtime.
