SpreadsheetWeb for the public sector
Deliver spreadsheet-based public services through the web.
Public-sector teams often build practical tools in Excel because the people closest to a process can shape the calculations quickly. SpreadsheetWeb helps those teams share the tools as web applications while retaining control of the workbook model.
The operating challenge
Useful agency tools should not depend on distributing files.
Departments frequently use spreadsheets to bridge gaps between formal systems, but file-based distribution makes security, version control, governance, and collaboration harder. Conventional application development can be costly and slow, especially when the business rules already exist in a workbook maintained by the people who run the service.
Common public-sector workflows
Make spreadsheet logic available through a clearer service.
Turn the calculation and decision rules in an approved workbook into a browser experience for internal teams or an intended public audience.
Program calculators
Guide staff or constituents through required inputs and return consistent calculations from the approved model.
Requests and submissions
Collect structured information through web forms instead of exchanging workbook copies or unstructured documents.
Internal decision tools
Give authorized staff a shared application for evaluating scenarios and applying the same current rules.
Service dashboards
Present model-driven information through an interface that is easier to understand than the underlying worksheets.
SpreadsheetWeb capabilities
Let process owners maintain logic without owning a software stack.
SpreadsheetWeb provides a browser application and database-driven process around the workbook, allowing the spreadsheet model and the user experience to evolve together.
No-code application delivery
Use spreadsheet expertise as the starting point for a web application instead of recoding the model from scratch.
Central version control
Give every user access to the same published model rather than a local or emailed copy.
Structured data collection
Capture form inputs and application records in a consistent process around the workbook.
Role-appropriate access
Design distinct application experiences for staff, partners, or public users as the process requires.
