How they describe their product/innovation: With more than 1.2 billion users worldwide, Excel remains the #1 tool used by analysts, quants, portfolio managers and other professionals to make investment decisions. Its simple paradigm coupled with its powerful engine lets Excel consistently trump all alternatives. But getting market data into Excel remains a challenge.
