+ <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>

+ 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>

+
+ 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.
