+ <section title="Introduction">
+ <p>
+ A number of people are using POI for a variety of purposes. As with
+ any new API or technology, the first question people generally ask
+ is not "how can I" but rather "Who else is doing what I'm about to
+ do?" This is understandable with the abismal success rate in the
+ software business. These case statements are meant to help create
+ confidence and understanding.

+ <section title="Submitting a Case Study">
+ <p>
+ We are actively seeking case studies for this page (after all it
+ just started). Andy Oliver (acoliver at apache dot org) has
+ agreed to have a few T-Shirts printed with the POI logo (once its
+ chosen) for the first
+ few best submissions. To submit a case study, either
+ <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/getinvolved/index.html">
+ submit a patch for this page</link> (preferred) or email it to the
+ <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html">mailing list
+ </link>.

+ <p>
+ Edwards and Kelcey Technology (http://www.ekcorp.com/) developed a
+ Facility
+ Managament and Maintenance System for the Telecommunications industry
+ based
+ on Turbine and Velocity. Originally the invoicing was done with a simple
+ CVS
+ sheet which was then marked up by accounts and customized for each client.
+ As growth has been consistent with the application, the requirement for
+ invoices that need not be touched by hand increased. POI provided the
+ solution to this issue, integrating easily and transparently into the
+ system. POI HSSF was used to create the invoices directly from the server
+ in
+ Excel 97 format and now services over 150 unique invoices per month.
