What Is This Viney@rd Thing?

Most of your office work is collecting and organizing data . The most common tool for doing that is Microsoft Excel; countless hours are spent copying, reworking and formatting data to be distributed or summarized.

Once created those spreadsheets get old, get lost and generate each sort of misunderstanding. The company knowledge get dispersed among users' PCs, in uncontrolled versions. If those data must be reused, they are not in an easy to use format.

In those spreadsheets often reside data that are not available anywhere else in the company. Chances are that those data are a part of people hard won knowledge, that gives them the crucial insight they need for their job.

There's no need to say that complying to regulations like Sarbanes - Oxley, IAS or simply adhering to auditors' desiderata is painstakingly difficult in this unstructured environment.

The IT standard reply to this issue is setting up a complex project to create one or more dedicated applications but Viney@rd now gives you a new option.

With Viney@rd users can save their data in a central repository. This repository is designed directly from Excel, so there is no need to ask the IT to set up a dedicated database. Just copy and paste your data onto the interactive worksheet, arrange them and save. Viney@rd accepts data in a format that's usually very close to raw data tables, so minimal formatting is needed. Save your data into Viney@rd repository and they become available to every user.

Users themselves control directly what's available and what's not within Viney@rd. In a conventional project data rules are defined within IT constraints; with Viney@rd users can feed data according to their specific needs. Is a data row just garbage?, simply delete it! Do you need to adjust your figures a bit to clear cluttuer? Simply do it in Excel and save!

Being the data available, users can embed queries in their worksheets. Creating a query does not require any technical (SQL) ability and it is a point and click process.
Queries can be configured to output always the same area, even a single cell, that is, complex spreadsheets can be created and automatically refreshed without disrupting the layout. There's no further need for custom formulas and macros just to place data somewhere else.

Queries can be synchronized, so a query result set can be filtered and displayed according to the result of a previously run query. Filter values can be read from a spreadsheet range, so all the queries in a workbook can share the same parameters. Many other formatting options are available but they do not duplicate Excel functions like other reporting tools do.
