+ <p>
+ <link href="http://www.iexlsoftware.com/">IDD</link> have developed the iEXL product to generate Excel spreadsheets
+ directly on the Iseries/AS400 IBM platform. Using RPG, SQL, QUERY, JAVA, COBOL etc. In other words your existing staffs knowledge.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Design spreadsheets with:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Fonts down to cell level</li>
+ <li>Colours (Background and text) down to cell level</li>
+ <li>Shading down to cell level</li>
+ <li>Cell patterns down to cell level</li>
+ <li>Cell initialization</li>
+ <li>Freeze Panes</li>
+ <li>Passwords</li>
+ <li>Images/Pictures both static and dynamic</li>
+ <li>Headings</li>
+ <li>Page breaks</li>
+ <li>Sheet breaks</li>
+ <li>Text insertion and much more</li>
+ <li>E-mail the spreadsheet</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ The product name is ‘iEXL’ and has been live on both European and North American systems for over three years.
+ It is being used in preference to more established commercial products which my clients have already purchased.
+ This is due to cost and ease of use.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ All spreadsheets can be archived if required so that historical spreadsheets can be retrieved and in the case
+ of one client a full external company audit can be approved. The system has benefits for all departments within an organisation.
+ Examples of this are accounts department for things such as aged trial balance, distribution department for ASN’s,
+ warehousing for stock figures, IS for security reporting etc.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Clients have at this point (Nov 2010) created over 200 spreadsheets
+ which in turn have generated over 120,000 E-mails. iEXL has a menu driven email system.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Due to the Apache-POI project IDD have been able to create the IEXL product.
+ This is a well priced product which allows companies of all sizes access to a product that opens up their reporting capabilities.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Within the <link href="http://www.iexlsoftware.com/">iEXLSOFTWARE.COM</link> website you will find a full user manual,
+ installation instructions, a call log (Ticket) system and a downloadable 45 day trial version.

SXSSF (package: org.apache.poi.xssf.streaming) is an API-compatible streaming extension of XSSF to be used when
