Boardwalktech announces support for Office 365
Palo Alto, California – March 27, 2017
Boardwalktech, Inc., a provider of collaborative applications for the enterprise and developer of the patented Boardwalk Application Engine (BAE) announced today that it will support the Microsoft Office 365 online Excel spreadsheet environment for its BAE driven applications. Process users can now use both Excel for primary process interactions and also Office 365 where appropriate for a given user’s requirements.
Line-of-business users are increasingly turning to online applications which support “use anywhere” application modes. The challenge is that it's difficult to support large data sets or integration as part of an application run in an online spreadsheet. In addition, many users prefer Boardwalk’s isolation sharing method where you can work on your updates and then, when ready, share with others rather than having a continuous sharing model which can be disruptive when multiple users are working on the same process data. With this new capability, Boardwalk users can leverage Office 365’s use anywhere mode while also enjoying all the enterprise capabilities they’ve become accustomed to with Boardwalk. Plus, there’s full inter-operability between online and offline Excel.
“Online spreadsheet applications where there are more than 5 users are difficult to manage without Boardwalk,” says JB Kuppe, VP of Marketing for Boardwalktech. “Users need a way to effectively work with only they data they are supposed to see and also with the volume of data required for the application. Now, our users can leverage both Excel and Office 365 as appropriate. This is consistent with our push to enable usage of tabular data across any application or device in the enterprise.”
