  3. PowerPoint Automation Toolkit • The PowerPoint Automation Toolkit facilitates the automated generation of PowerPoint presentation from structured and unstructured data sources. The different modules which comprise the Toolkit include: • Presentation optimizer: Reduces size of presentations by optimizing graphics. Can achieve 100 to 1 compression factor. Helps control PowerPoint bloat and reduce download size and bandwidth usage. • Presentation decomposer: Decomposes a presentation into component slides and graphics. Slides are placed in a repository along with slide metadata, where they can be used to create new presentations (see Generators below) • Presentation generator (desktop): A desktop PowerPoint generator. • Presentation generator (server): A web server based PowerPoint generator • The presentation generator builds presentations which can include static slides and dynamic slides. Dynamic slides can contain charts or graphics whose features are based upon queries to SQL Server or Analysis Services.

  4. ExcelETL: Desktop ETL with Excel • Excel ETL is a Microsoft Excel-based desktop ETL solution. In several of our project, we have had the need to take data received in Excel or CSV format and send this data to a data warehouse staging database. Excel ETL is a generic framework for accomplishing this task. • Several modules comprise Excel ETL • An XML configuration file which captures the requirements of the data staging process • An Excel add-in with which the user interacts • A staging database generator • A web service middle tier • These modules combined allow a user to • Manually or automatically map Excel columns to database fields • Validate the sheet against the constraints of the database • Cleans and conform strings and flags • Upload the sheet to the staging database
