The database could arguably be considered as the pinnacle of business technology and has aided many a company in sorting their business clutter and managing their data. The excel database has been a popular draw amongst companies of all verticals. Since its inception in 1993 by Microsoft many IT companies have taken it upon themselves to customise the software and its applications to optimize its use and derive better results from the software. Data Mart for Excel is one such company that has been at the forefront of delivering excel database related services to the corporate sector for over half a decade. The company first took shape as a compilation of mainframe tools that aided in the extraction of DB2 files which were further processed into excel files in one easy to use process. This method helped the company garner huge success early on as it enabled accountants to analyse and manipulate mainframe data using powerful excel functions.
Despite its early success, the tool’s major function which was limited to pulling from mainframe and pushing to exchange, lost its charm amongst users who favoured an excel based tool that could interact with the oracle database to derive data directly. After several modifications on the original database tool, Data Mart launched D4E which was completely excel based and enabled them to extract data directly from the Oracle e-Business suite applications and related databases via OBDC connectivity. “As a modern tool, it uses Excel ribbons and add-in VBA code to deliver functionality without embedding any user defined formulas or code in user spreadsheets,” elaborates Antonio Elinon, Managing Director, Data Mart for Excel.
