'Comprehensive' is an adjective for including or dealing with all or nearly all elements or aspects of something.
At Accordo this describes the functionality we gain by incorporating the Aspose.Total product set into our core line of business applications. Annually, Accordo deals with customers across the globe performing TeleSAM, and other compliance and audit type services, on behalf of software publishers. This work involves contacting customers and leading them through an agreed process on behalf of each publisher. The process typically helps customers to resolve licensing gaps and guides them in to having a better licensing approach in the future.
Introducing a number of Aspose.Total controls has had significant benefits at Accordo. Aspose.Total controls have allowed us to automate what was a very time consuming and manual process of document preparation and communication with our customers. This automation has increased efficiencies, and had significant benefits in ensuring consistency across documentation and communication being used. Overall providing an improved professional image.
Aspose.Cell is used extensively because of the demands we have on using Excel. Data is retrieved from incoming Excel workbooks for analysis in our processes. Complex outgoing Excel workbooks are produced that require further analysis and communication with our customers. Before moving to Aspose.Cell we used Interop libraries and continuously encountered issues. The use of Aspose.Cell was investigated and is now implemented. What was a very manual process is now all but fully automated. The reliability issues we encountered previously in this step of our process have gone.
Aspose.Email is used to send out automated emails, in a mail merge sense, and to interpret and dissect incoming emails. Incoming emails are matched to the correct customer record. Centralizing email dialogue has introduced better transparency, particularly in the case of staff absences or turnover, and enabled significant automation benefits. From a security aspect, removal of email attachments for virus and malware scanning before being linked to a customer record has significant advantages. Before settling on Aspose.Email it was compared to several other options. Aspose.Email stood out for its ease of use and breadth of functionality. Aspose.Email has stood up to our expectations and is a key tool in our business processes.
Aspose.PDF is used in our Development toolset for customer-facing PDF forms. Excel workbooks can cause complications because of different Excel versions in use, different customer interactions with an Excel document and general security issues that can provide headaches when using an automated upload for Excel documents returned to us. The benefits of using a PDF form instead of the Excel workbook are therefore easily quantifiable. Aspose.PDF has provided a complete and easy to use toolset for such scenarios.
Aspose.Tasks is the final component of the Aspose.Total product set that we are ‘tinkering’ with. One of our internal systems, used for work management and work assignment flows, is bereft of suitable reporting and planning tools. We are trialling Aspose.Tasks to export SQL data into Gantt charts with the goal of adding benefit to, and assisting with, the planning of projects and workloads throughout our organization. This work is still in its infancy but looks to be invaluable in the future.
Given the reliability and comprehensive functionality each of the Aspose controls offered within the Aspose.Total product set we have no reservations in recommending these products, either individually, or as the total package. In addition to our testimonies above on the individual products we use, overall these products have been easy to implement and easy to maintain. What more can you ask for?
