Office Automation with Open XML

PSC works with the latest Microsoft® Office technologies and Open XML Formats to develop new systems for compiling and producing files compatible with all of the Office 2007 products including Word®, Excel® and PowerPoint®. Using these applications, our clients are able automate the production of files and presentations in less time, while reducing costs and offering more services to more customers.

Open XML Formats are ISO-standard XML files, the standard data storage format for applications in the Microsoft Office 2007 suites. By using files based on Open XML, PSC developers can more easily produce flexible and extensible applications that manipulate, integrate, and present data.

PSC can develop these document generation systems to access infomration from Microsoft SQL Server® or other data management software with Client/Server or Web-based user interfaces. These components are built on the Microsoft Visual Studio® 2008 Professional Edition development system and the Microsoft Visual C# or Visual Basic development tools. The systems use Open XML Formats to create the text, charts and graphs needed in the final deliverable files.

Document templates that can be quickly customized with customer logos, colors, and themes, and then merged with the data in Open XML to create the Office 2007 files or presentations on a server. The system can then notify the user that the presentation is available for review or deliver them directly.
