Transform Excel® into a self-service business intelligence tool
Microsoft Excel© just got better—a lot better—with Vivid. This powerful Office add-in extends Excel with new features that empower your organization to collaborate more effectively, while at the same time, greatly simplifying the process of building insightful reports—even against the most unwieldy cubes (see Overview Screenshot for a larger picture). Once you’ve experienced Vivid, you will never again want to use Excel without it.
