Bringing the Web to Excel

The Kapow Connector for Excel brings a whole new level of flexibility and productivity to today’s knowledge worker, providing breakthrough capabilities for automating the collection and import of web intelligence directly into Excel.

When used in conjunction with Kapow OnDemand, or the Kapow Mashup Server, Web 2.0 Edition, Excel users can easily find the robots they want to run, run those robots with a single click, and get real-time updates of web-based information imported into their spreadsheets.

Breakthrough Capability

Compared to traditional cut and paste methods of placing web-based data into Excel, the Kapow Connector for Excel opens up new possibilities for spreadsheet based applications. It is now feasible to collect and analyze web intelligence directly from your desktop on a real-time basis on an unprecedented scale. Analysts can rapidly collect market data related to competitive pricing, product mix analysis, or financial performance, with the ability to act quickly on the data to take advantage of market opportunities.

Using the Kapow Connector for Excel makes good business sense. It allows you to use your existing software (Excel) more effectively and taps into the broad based Excel skills and expertise that many companies already have.

Excel Based Mashups

Knowledge workers using Excel in this way don’t traditionally view their activity as building a mashup, but that’s exactly what they are doing. The Kapow Connector for Excel is designed to turn the web into a rich database of content directly accessible by Excel users. Tasks that could never be done before now become feasible, raising business and market analysis to a whole new level of sophistication.
