During his international career in various CFO and CIO positions, Johan Smith has
often seen the typical problems that companies struggle with. Business-critical
processes and decisions are often based on poorly-designed spreadsheets.
In 2005 Johan initiated the development of a better solution. This
started with bespoke software for large companies such as ICL, Fujitsu,
and Kaplan.
Gradually this evolved into a generic and highly configurable solution.
In 2012, we launched a commercial Excel add-in solution which was
widely sold over the years. Clients liked the close integration with Excel and the
flexible reporting capabilities. In fact, this "classic" Excel tool is still being
used in 2023 by several clients.
In 2018 we started the development of the web-based version of
XLReporting in collaboration with implementation partner InfoAction, and Edgar de
Wit joined the team.
When Edgar started working with XLReporting, he recognised this as the
solution for every finance professional. As an information consultant, with a
background in business economics, he has implemented XLReporting over the past years
for many different clients. Edgar is an expert in designing and implementing
pragmatic business solutions for reporting and forecasting.
Now in 2024, XLReporting is using the latest technologies and is
a competitive player in the market of high-end enterprise solutions.
