A new offering from StrikeIron is expected to let Excel users import live
data into their worksheets, without help from professional developers.
The Research Triangle, N.C. based company announced last month the beta
version of OnDemand Web Services for Excel (www.strikeiron.com/htmls/ondemand.aspx).
Expected the first quarter of next year, OnDemand will let Microsoft Excel users
add real-time data, such as stock quotes, to a spreadsheet, without having to
understand what's involved in invoking a Web service.
