A3 Solutions' Status as Gold Certified Microsoft Partner Renewed

As Popularity Grows for Web-Enabled Spreadsheet Automation Software

San Francisco, CA - August 17, 2009
A3 Solutions, the developer of the A3 Modeling Spreadsheet Automation Server™, a web-based platform for centralizing and integrating data from Microsoft Excel spreadsheet documents, has had its status renewed as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner with ISV/Software Solutions competency in business analytics.

Based in San Francisco, Calif. with a global customer base in manufacturing, financial services, retail, telecommunications, transportation and the public sector, A3 Solutions' flagship software suite empowers managers across enterprises to create spreadsheet models based on financial practices and business rules and store these processes in central SQL tables and OLAP cubes.

"The growing popularity of universal data availability via web-enabled applications and the necessity for absolute financial data integrity through centralized modeling and storage makes the A3 Modeling Spreadsheet Application Server the preferred choice for CXO-level executives dedicated to mitigating risk and improving efficiency," said Robert Lautt, founder and CEO of A3 Solutions. "As a Gold Certified Microsoft Partner we will continue to excel at enabling our customers to bring control, integration and compliance to their complex corporate spreadsheet systems."

Since its initial release in 1990 as the industry's first real-time spreadsheet application server, A3 Modeling has emerged as the leading financial data management solution among organizations using business intelligence OLAP tools such as Hyperion Essbase and SQL Server Analysis Services. Executives and financial managers at large organizations using A3 Modeling say it delivers immediate benefits through the creation of secure, scalable applications with nothing more than intermediate-level spreadsheet and database skills, making for strong user acceptance and fast deployment.

"A3 Modeling Spreadsheet Application Server makes it easy to configure scalable budgeting, reporting, data collection and analysis systems, without the labor intensive, error prone characteristics of independently maintained spreadsheet documents," stated Mr. Lautt. "Equally important, transitioning spreadsheet data to the A3 Modeling server is a seamless process with virtually no operational disruption."

Automating spreadsheet processes enhances the quality and timeliness of corporate decision-making. By integrating these disparate financial processes, a company can speed up planning, budgeting, and forecasting cycles, bringing better visibility, data integrity and compliance to all departments.

To convert desktop spreadsheets into real-time models and reusable XML components,
managers use the A3 natural language authoring tool to move data from spreadsheets into analytic cubes or relational tables, assigning varying levels of security privileges and workflow characteristics. From that point on, dynamically populated spreadsheet models can be requested from any desktop for immediate use such as data entry, what-if scenarios and other analysis.
