The Sky’s the limit with CALUMO Skylights
CALUMO Skylights open up a whole new way of integrating web content within Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 and Microsoft Word 2010 (and 2007). When combined with CALUMO reports, Skylights unite the power of corporate reporting with the presentation power of PowerPoint and printability or Word. Each Skylight acts as a window onto a report which can be presented or interacted with real time.
Here is a great example of how Dominic… Continue reading
