Microsoft Office Add Ons and Customization
Do you find yourself bogged down by repetitious tasks? Are you spending a significant amount of time manually implementing a business process on your computers?
Our custom software solutions can help you recover that time.
We write software that enhances or customizes popular productivity software such as Microsoft Office to meet the unique needs of of your business. Examples of our software include
- An application that allows Excel to generate voice alerts. It alerts traders when stocks they are monitoring meet certain criteria, allowing them to more reliably monitor a larger basket of stocks and to react promptly to changes within the stock market.
- A utility that is used by the sales force for an IT services company to sell their main product offering. It generates an Excel workbook that they can provide to prospective clients. The workbook contains formulae that the sales force customizes to the prospective client’s business processes. The client can then enter values into the workbook to cost out various scenarios and be presented with a polished report analyzing the ROI of purchasing the service offering.
- An add on used by writers at a pharmaceutical company to automate the production and editing of cGMP documentation.
Companies that implement our solutions often find dramatic improvements in their productivity and in the time it takes to implement their processes. The benefits are not always financial; our solutions can also reduce staff turnover by improving job satisfaction. One client commented that she no longer feared that last-minute changes to the production schedule on Friday afternoons would make her late picking up her children from school.
