Business benefits
What are the business benefits?
- Increase the business responsiveness of your
company:
- by reducing to 0 seconds the time between
the moment a developer makes a change to some
source code and the moment that the change is
reflected on everyone's Office document
- by allowing developers to make changes
directly from any end-user workstation (instead
of going back and forth between a development
computer and an end-user computer)
- Increase the productivity of your employees:
- by not forcing employees to restart Office every time
that an Add-In is updated
- by having old
versions of Add-Ins transparently replaced with
newer ones
- by allowing employees to browse a list of all the
Add-Ins available in the company and to try them out
right away without installation
- Increase the productivity of your developers:
- by giving them the ability to debug Add-Ins
directly from the workstation of an end-user, and,
from there, to propagate the fix to all the other
users
- by giving them the ability to modify the source
code of an Add-In while the Add-In is still running and
see the result in real-time
- by replacing VBA with a more modern and powerful
programming language such as .NET
- Increase the security of your company:
- by deciding who in the company has the right to
execute which Add-Ins
- by keeping track of who modified the source code
of which Add-Ins and when
- Cut costs:
- by not purchasing a development environment
for developing Add-Ins for Office
- by not purchasing a deployment system
