growing need for the automation of Excel spreadsheet operations. In
December 2015, to respond to these customer needs, SAISON INFORMATION
SYSTEMS released DataSpider Mini for Excel, which makes it possible to
quickly and easily build the integration process of Excel and peripheral
systems without programming. DataSpider Mini for Excel Ver. 4.0 SP1 is
using the latest version of the core engine, DataSpider Servista 4.0
SP1, updated from DataSpider Servista 3.0.
Value Provided
