+ Ugly Duckling focus on Software, Management and Finance. + We have recently been using Apache POI to create tools for the mortgage group of + ABN AMRO in the Netherlands. + During this project we created a number of what we call 'Robots' using the HSSF API. +
++ These robots run as services on the network and + help automate the processing of large amounts of data. Our Robots can be used to spot problems that + a human might not, and also to automate repetitive tasks. +
++ We found Apache POI to be extremely useful. We took the base API, wrapped it in a builder pattern and + thus created a DSL with a fluid interface. Throughout the project we enjoyed very much working with + Apache POI and found it to be very reliable. +
