TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Saison Information Systems Co., Ltd. (JASDAQ: 9640) (Headquarter: Tokyo, CEO: Takashi Miyano) and HULFT Pte. Ltd. (Branch Office: Singapore, CEO Kazuhiro Uchida) will release data integration middleware, “DataSpider Mini for Excel,” targeting the Southeast Asian SME market on December 17th, 2015. The software will allow organizations that traditionally have struggled with different departments managing various critical business data using Excel files to increase operational efficiency whilst reducing human errors.
The Excel Predicament of SMEs
SMEs often lack the budgets or system integration expertise to streamline and automate their internal flows of information and data. Instead, different departments manage data using Excel. Whilst Excel is an easy-to-use and affordable option, when comes to the organization’s need to continuously sync, reconcile, and analyze data from disparate Excel files, problems and inefficiencies occur due to the manual processes. This often results in missed opportunities and problems caused by the inevitable human error or data that is no longer relevant by the time it reaches its destination.
Solution Provided by “DataSpider Mini for Excel”
DataSpider Mini for Excel allows users to create processing flows called scripts in a GUI development and configuration window called DataSpider Studio. DataSpider imports various data from Excel files. The imported data is then converted and processed with common operations such as structure transformation, filtering, mapping, integration, and calculations. This script is registered as a service and can be utilized by executing from the necessary application and process. The result is increased operational efficiency, fewer errors, and, in many cases, greater visibility for executives on the course of their business.
Product Positioning
Saison Information Systems CTO, Mr. Kazutoshi Ono, commented, “DataSpider Mini for Excel is an edition of our comprehensive data integration middleware, DataSpider Servista, which is used by over 2,400 companies and known for its ease-of-use. DataSpider Mini for Excel is focused on the issues faced by SMEs regarding the reconciliation of multiple disparate Excel files. Such organizations are often large enough to have outgrown Excel, but too small to be able to afford custom enterprise-level IT integration to automate their workflows. We chose to release first in South East Asia due to the region’s dynamism and openness to trying new solutions.”
