+ Jakarta POI - Case Studies + + + + +
+ + +
+

+ 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. +

+
+
+

+ 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 + + submit a patch for this page (preferred) or email it to the + mailing list + . +

+ 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. +
