Hello Guys:
I'd like to submit a patch to the case study web page. Attached is the cvs
diff for the casestudy forrest xml file.
I cannot tell you guys how POI saved our butt! I love it! It's the baddest
opensource framework I've used so far...So much relevant!
I'd really like to "Give back" to the open-source community. I am trying
to devise a mechanism to give free licenses to the commiters of
open-source projects (apache, sourceforge etc.) to our online survey
service.
I cant think of a good way (automated) of doing this except for checking
for email addresses ([EMAIL PROTECTED])... If someone can give me a good
idea I'd really appreciate that...
Anyways, if you have any questions about the patch.. I'll be monitoring
the mailing list...
Thanks,
--

+ <link href="http://www.questionpro.com";>QuestionPro</link> is an online
service allowing businesses and individuals to create, deploy and do in-depth analysis
of Online Surveys. The technology is build on open-source frameworks like Struts,
Velocity, POI, Lucene ... the List goes on. The application deployment is on a Linux
Application Cluster farm with a Mysql database.

+ There are quite a few competitors delivering similar solutions using
Microsoft Technologies like asp and .net. One of the distinct advantages our
competitors had over us was the ability to generate Excel Spreadsheets, Access
Databases (MDB) etc. on the fly using the Component Object Model (COM) - since their
servers were running IIS and they had access to the COM registry and such.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ QuestionPro's initial solution was to generate CSV files. This was easy
however it was a cumbersome process for our clients to download the CSV files and then
import them into Excel. Moreover, formatting information could not be preserved or
captured using the CSV format. This is where POI came to our rescue. With a POI based
solution, we could generate a full report with multiple sheets and all the analytical
reports. To keep the solution scalable, we had a dedicated cluster for generating out
the reports.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+
+ The Jakarta-POI project has helped QuestionPro compete with the other
players in the marketplace with proprietary technology. It leveled the playing field
with respect to reporting and data analysis solutions. It helped in opening doors into
closed solutions like Microsoft's CDF. Today about 100 excel reports are generated
daily, each with about 10-30 sheets in them.
