PersisTables – Securing your Excel Data

Many businesses rely on Excel based End User Computing (EUC) to enable rapid adoption of new business ideas. Developed by the business, these EUC applications soon become essential parts of the company’s operations, creating major operational and financial risks.
PersisTables provides a powerful set of data managment tools that can allow the EUC developer to safely manage this critical information, enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of any EUC application, improving the storing, sharing and auditing of business critical information without requiring specialist programming skills. It provides a framework for developing robust applications which can be thoroughly tested and provides a pathway to migrating functionality to IT supported applications without relinquishing the ability to prototype and innovate.

PersisTables was developed to streamline the delivery of new financial products to trading desks, the aim being to minimise the time taken for models to be integrated into existing banking systems while maintaining the very flexibility that makes Excel so powerful. Peter Clark shares his thoughts on developing really agile software here.

Taking control of Excel

Excel is a marmite product…

End users love Excel because it gives them the flexibility to evolve functionality rapidly to meet changing business demands while technologists tend to hate it for exactly the same reasons.

The very power that makes Excel useful also makes it dangerous; simple worksheets evolve into complex EUC applications that tend to create operational weaknesses that can lead to major financial loss.

Save Your Data

PersisTables allows business data to be extracted directly from Excel worksheets, saved for audit purposes, shared with others without the need for specialised programming skills.

By separating data from function, PersisTables creates a framework that allows EUC applications to be developed which provide built in auditablity, eases data sharing between EUC tools, encourages simplification and standardisation of ‘template’ tools which leads to improved robustness and increases transparency of business processes.

What does it do?

PersisTables defines a new object type called a Table. A Table holds a range of data within a single cell. By incorporating Tables into other Tables, a hierarchical structure can be constructed, allowing complex data to be modelled and managed.
