EXTOL Spreadsheet Integrator (EBS), a stand-alone subset of the EXTOL Business Integrator (EBI) product, is an integrated system designed for creating, deploying, managing, and maintaining spreadsheet integration applications, with unmatched speed, flexibility, and productivity. Unlike other, more limited integration solutions, EBS:

• Supports both internal and external communications and runtime integration
• Offers a full range of syntax transformation support (database, flat file, spreadsheet, XML, and EDI*)
• Includes a full suite of high-level tools that simplify and speed the creation and maintenance of spreadsheet integration applications
• Installs in minutes on your choice of supported OS, with no additional prerequisites to purchase
• Can be extended to support additional integration requirements, with a simple licensing change

EBS enables you to deliver integration processes that consume or produce spreadsheet content and synchronize with external partners, internal enterprise applications, and data, in a “lights-out” fashion. The resulting applications can be deployed on your choice of supported platforms, including multiple versions of Windows, Linux, and IBM i OS (i5/OS).
