Demo Applications
Project Proposal Template
Small or large, most companies use spreadsheets to collect data from users. The ease of adding or removing data fields, and advanced formatting features, make spreadsheets an ideal platform for data collection. One can create a data collection template for practically any purpose or business need in a matter of hours if not minutes using standard spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel. Users fill in necessary data and send the spreadsheet back to the person in charge of compiling data. This person typically compiles data from each individual file into a master spreadsheet for processing and reporting. While spreadsheets offer tremendous flexibility and speed, they typically lack automation, version control and security. Most of the time data needs to be manually copied multiple times which leads to inefficiencies and errors. It is also difficult to keep the data current as different versions of spreadsheet files move around.
SpreadsheetWEB offers an ideal solution to those issues like the lack of automation, version control, and security. At the same time it allows you to continue building and maintaining your data collection templates in Excel.
Let’s take a very common example. This financial services company has been using a spreadsheet template for managing new project proposals. You can download the file from the link link . The fact that each department can customize this template for their requirements prevents this organization from investing into a complex web based solution. High development and maintenance cost for such a system is certainly another factor.
With SpreadsheetWEB, this template can be turned into a professional looking web form in a matter of minutes. Each department can continue creating their customized forms in the same manner. They simply make their changes on the original template and use SpreadsheetWEB Conversion Wizard to create the web form. Data on each project can be modified through the same web form. Users can change the status of the project based on a list of statuses defined at the time of conversion.
