Arria for Excel adds NLG to Microsoft Excel

Arria NLG is releasing Arria for Excel, a Microsoft Office add-in that brings natural language generation (NLG) functionality to Microsoft Excel users.

Arria for Excel adds natural-language summaries and report automation right within the worksheet, instantly turning volumes of data into insightful narratives.

Users can tailor narratives to specific audiences, providing contextual commentary and explanatory analyses which are not only indistinguishable from those created by subject matter experts, but also created in seconds.

For enterprise professionals, Excel is entrenched as the most widely adopted business analytics tool and it is every analyst’s tried-and-true tool for decision and reporting support.

Arria augments existing Excel workflows with:

• Consistency and accuracy. A next-generation report writer that dynamically automates data-driven financial summaries. Best practices are captured and maintained. Last-minute changes are no longer nerve-racking.
• Timeliness of reporting. Financial reports must be available in time to inform decision making. Therefore, financial reports should be published as soon as possible after the end of the reporting period.
• Team sharing. With volumes of data changing at a pace like never before, insightful information delivery across the enterprise provides clarity and confidence in times of uncertainty.

“For data to have value, enterprises must be able to extract meaningful insights that lead to positive business outcomes,” said Sharon Daniels, CEO, Arria NLG. “They need to reduce the time it takes to get to those insights, and take action.”
