OREANDA-NEWS. August 12, 2011. Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Applications, Ltd. announced the launch of a software tool that makes it easy for customers to create their own web applications, reported the press-centre of Fujitsu.   

RapidWebSS has been designed mainly for office tasks managed through Microsoft® Office Excel, including simple workflow management, customer-relationship management, bid management, and trouble-ticket management, as well as providing supplemental functionality to mission-critical systems. After installing the product on a PC server, customers can create new web applications in about a half a day using familiar Excel operations. In addition, the software can flexibly accommodate changes to business process specifications after applications have already been put into use. Users of web applications produced using this software can access the applications over the Internet from their own computers to input or browse information.

As a result, business processes for which ICT use has been difficult in the past due to budgetary or operational workload constraints can now be systemized by users, thereby enabling improved business efficiency through central management of information.

Background
Companies have made some progress in systematizing their key business processes. However, for processes with constantly-changing specifications and that involve ROI or operational overhead risks, companies manage information manually using Excel in many cases. As this approach involves the exchange of Excel and other files via e-mail with a variety of different people inputting data, it can be difficult to determine the status of progress with Excel files often becoming scattered, thus making tabulation work complicated.

With these circumstances in mind, Fujitsu and Fujitsu Applications have released RapidWebSS, a software tool that makes it quick, inexpensive, and easy to develop web applications.
