Use AI to Build a Better Spreadsheet, Then Turn it into a Web App
Most of the AI conversation around Excel predicts its replacement. Meanwhile, the people who actually build spreadsheets are using AI to make them better than ever. AI assistants now write and explain formulas, generate VBA, suggest error handling, and document logic that has gone unexplained for years. Microsoft ships Copilot inside Excel itself, complete with […]
Three Paths from Spreadsheet to Web Application
Your company probably has at least one. A spreadsheet that started as a quick tool and then became the engine behind quoting, pricing, rating, or planning for your entire team. It holds years of refined business logic, and the people who depend on it trust the numbers it produces. It also breaks in ways that […]
How Microsoft’s Excel Macro Security Changes Are Affecting Operations Teams in 2026
A Security Fix That Came at a Cost In February 2022, Microsoft announced it would block VBA macros by default in Office files downloaded from the internet. After a brief rollback in response to user feedback, the change resumed rollout across Microsoft 365 for Windows later that year, covering Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, and Word. […]
Pfizer: Corporate-Wide Deployment of Modeling Technology
Zürich Financial uses Excel for CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote). However, these spreadsheets are constantly updated to reflect changes in the market, and new spreadsheets containing pricing models for new product lines are frequently added. Using EASA, Zurich has deployed these pricing tools as secure and simplified web apps which use the business logic of the original spreadsheets. This has been accomplished without incurring the high cost of programming custom solutions, and without discarding the original spreadsheets.
General Electric: Producing a Custom Proposal Generation Tool
GE Energy Wind Energy division needed to greatly improve the efficiency and speed of developing proposals to respond to sales inquiries.
P&G: Democratization of CAE and Spreadsheet Models
Proctor & Gamble democratizes a variety of simulation models, making them accessible to a much broader user community. This is achieved by using EASA’s patented “appification” technology to create a proprietary “app store” of intuitive and intelligent apps that drive complex multi-step, multi-software workflows that were previously accessible only to a small group of experts.
How does EASA simplify complex modeling workflows?
EASA allows you to define interfaces that guide users, exposing only the necessary inputs and outputs. This removes the need for users to interact directly with the underlying code or complex software.
What platforms does EASA support?
EASA can interface with Excel, MATLAB, Python R, and AI-drive models.
Can EASA handle complex Excel models with VBA or macros?
Yes. EASA supports 100% of Excel functionality, including VBA, macros, add-ins.
Air International: Simplifying CAE with Automation and Embedded Expert Knowledge
Air International has reduced design life-cycles by putting simulation technology into the hands of a wider user base. This has been achieved using EASA’s codeless application builder to create custom, task-specific applications which dramatically simplify the use of powerful computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools, including CAD, Finite Element Analysis, and Computational Fluid Dynamics.
