Actuate e.Spreadsheet Option is a powerful tool for generating, managing, and distributing critical business information over the Internet in the form of easy-to-use and intuitive Excel-compatible spreadsheets. The e.Spreadsheet Option enables business users to create and receive live data in the familiar spreadsheet format for immediate analysis and action, with no need for training or support. Actuate e.Spreadsheet Option delivers all the formatting and calculation capabilities users expect from spreadsheets, while providing vital centralised spreadsheet maintenance, archiving, versioning, and security.

In general, corporations that have a high dependency on Excel reporting encounter multiple report versions, inconsistent metric definitions, and therefore multiple versions of the truth, with little collaboration and consensus amongst the user population. e.Spreadsheet Option puts an end to this problem — it deploys and publishes refreshable e.Spreadsheets using the powerful security, version control, and scheduling capabilities of Actuate iServer. This ensures that while users receive personalised, customisable Excel reports, IT still ensures the quality, security, and consistency of the information that users receive. The Actuate e.Spreadsheet Option works directly with Actuate iServer, and can also be bundled with e.Report Option and e.Analysis Option for maximum reporting and analysis flexibility.
