To aggressively compete and remain successful, enterprises often invest in custom applications and solutions. AO leverages your organization's existing spreadsheet framework to tailor fully automated enterprise-class reporting applications. Excel authors transform existing corporate reports into AO reports which may be viewed directly in Excel, or to a users' Web browser. The AO approach will speed up and automate normal report processing, eliminate errors, and save you time and money. By using the AO frameworks, HCG can address the unique reporting needs of each enterprise by architecting custom applications that deliver seamless end-to-end solutions.
