New case study. Added after some excited poking from Tetsuya. :-) It may not be pushed to the website immediately however. Need to poke Andy to get his nightly build going again. Either that or just do one myself.

<p>
A number of people are using POI for a variety of purposes. As with
any new API or technology, the first question people generally ask
is not "how can I" but rather "Who else is doing what I'm about to
do?" This is understandable with the abysmal success rate in the
software business. These case statements are meant to help create
confidence and understanding.

<section><title>Bank of Lithuania</title>
<p>
The <link href="http://www.lbank.lt">Bank of Lithuania</link>
reports financial statistical data to Excel format using the
<link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi">Jakarta POI</link>
project's <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf">
HSSF</link> API. The system is based on Oracle JServer and
utilizes a Java stored procedure that outputs to XLS format
using the HSSF API. - Arian Lashkov (alaskov at lbank.lt)

<section><title>Bit Tracker by Tracker Inc., and ThinkVirtual</title>
<p>
Bit Tracker (http://www.bittracker.com) is the world's first and only web-based drill bit tracking system to manage your company's critical bit information and use that data to its full potential. It manages all bit related data, including their usage, locations, how they were used, and results such as rate of penetration and dull grade after use. This data needs to be available in Excel format for backwards compatibility and other uses in the industry. After using CSV and HTML formats, we needed something better for creating the spreadsheets and POI is the answer. It works great and was easy to implement. Kudos to the POI team.

<section><title>Edwards And Kelcey Technology</title>
<p>
Edwards and Kelcey Technology (http://www.ekcorp.com/) developed a
Facility
Managament and Maintenance System for the Telecommunications industry
based
on Turbine and Velocity. Originally the invoicing was done with a simple
CVS
sheet which was then marked up by accounts and customized for each client.
As growth has been consistent with the application, the requirement for
invoices that need not be touched by hand increased. POI provided the
solution to this issue, integrating easily and transparently into the
system. POI HSSF was used to create the invoices directly from the server
in
Excel 97 format and now services over 150 unique invoices per month.

<p>
<link href="http://www.clickfind.com">ClickFind Inc.</link> used the POI
projects HSSF API to provide their medical
research clients with an Excel export from their electronic data
collection web service Data Collector 3.0. The POI team's assistance
allowed ClickFind to give their clients a data format that requires less
technical expertise than the XML format used by the Data Collector
application. This was important to ClickFind as many of their current
and potential clients are already using Excel in their day-to-day
operations and in established procedures for handling their generated
clinical data. - Jared Walker (jared.walker at clickfind.com)

combine and examine data stored in relational databases, XML databases, PDF

<p>It is obvious that Microsoft Excel files are also supported.
POI has been used to successfully implement this support in ETL4ALL.</p>
