Nedstat introduces Office Link

November 2006

Sitestat data directly into Microsoft Office applications

Amsterdam, 17 November 2006 - Nedstat announces the release of Office Link™. With Office Link™ Sitestat users can request and include any Sitestat report directly in Excel spreadsheets, Word documents or PowerPoint presentations. Using the Sitestat refresh button in the Microsoft Office toolbar, they can instantly refresh data at any time.

Office Link™ allows users to combine Sitestat reports with any other data, text or presentation in a simple way. Website analytics data is requested via a new interface that has been built into Excel, Word and PowerPoint. This works in the same way as the Sitestat user interface that clients are already familiar with.

Users can instantly update the Sitestat data in their spreadsheets, documents and presentations at any time by clicking on the Office Link™ refresh button in the Microsoft Office toolbar.

Microsoft Office’s formatting options can be applied, including the powerful graphical options. Users can choose style, titles and headings for Sitestat reports that suit their brand and clearly communicate the results.

Jo Geary, Online Marketing Manager at First Choice Specialist Holidays, was one of the Beta-testers. "I am already saving lots of time reporting on the performance of our websites. It is really easy to integrate data in Excel and see how, for instance, online campaigns are doing compared to target. I can also now update my PowerPoint presentations with website analytics directly without opening Sitestat."

Michael Kinsbergen, Nedstat CEO: "This is a significant improvement compared to our current export possibilities to Excel. During our strategic sessions with clients, it became clear that users also want to see Sitestat reports in Word and PowerPoint. In Excel they want to combine Sitestat reports with other Sitestat reports or with other data like budgets. Office Link™makes this now possible in an extremely simple way."

Office Link™ is available for all Sitestat users at no extra costs. Installation of Office Link™ is simple and straightforward. The support menu of Sitestat guides the user through a quick process that takes less than a minute.
