Windward Studios Document Automation

Windward Studios is a fast, easy, and powerful system that allows you to quickly layout templates using Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint and then create documents in numerous output formats using a SQL database, JSON file, XML file, or OData for the data and the Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document you created as the template.

How it Works

Very simply, with Windward you lay out your template in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel. In Word/Excel/PowerPoint you use all of it's powerful layout and formatting properties to set exactly how you want the document to look.
Once you have created the template, it is saved. You then feed the Windward Engine this template file and a datasource, and it then merges the data into the template and creates a final document, with all of the formatting and positioning as set in your original template. This final document can be written in numerous standard formats.
