SAP is the most widely used ERP solution in the world today, with more than 86,000 customers in more than 120 countries. However, the knowledge workers within those spend the majority of their day in Microsoft Office programs. Outlook, Word and Excel are the most commonly used portions of the office suite, and for those dealing with enterprise data, Microsoft Excel is the most frequently used application, with data stored and shared in Excel spreadsheets.
Winshuttle's solutions bridge the gap between SAP and Excel. By enabling users to shuttle data from Excel to SAP, or extract data from SAP to Excel, our products allow users to work and manipulate data in their own spreadsheets via the familiar and easy to use interface of Excel. However, for the global business that run SAP, the ERP system is the system of record, and it is very important that any access or changes to data within SAP, are made in a secure, auditable manner that meets the strict governance requirements of the world's biggest organizations.
Winshuttle fills both these seemingly divergent requirements, enabling user flexibility without compromising security or data integrity. Several of our products (runSHUTTLE and xSHUTTLE) can be run completely from within Excel. Running from within Excel is very powerful option, allowing users to move data from Excel to SAP, or download data from SAP to Excel without having to go through the SAP UI, or in fact even have a detailed knowledge of the underlying SAP transaction or SAP data structure.
With the boundary of the modern organization becoming more and more blurred, and many functions now be handled by outsourced partners the ability to take data, in its most common format Excel spreadsheets and load it to the most trusted system of record SAP, as quickly and easily as possible becomes a vital function. Up to date information allows companies to make smarter business choices. Companies who can spread the SAP data work to users who aren't SAP experts, but who now can shuttle data between Excel and SAP with Winshuttle's tools can gain a competitive advantage.
