Excel Best Practices

for Business

Loren Abdulezer

Loren’s book provides a way for companies to quickly and efficiently use

Assistive Technology to make basic spreadsheets accessible. His approach is direct

and easy to follow, hands-on, and practical. His innovation, Assistive Portals,

opens the door to making graphical interfaces embedded in decision analysis

spreadsheets readily accessible to individuals with visual impairments. While

making technology accessible is a difficult challenge for the business world, this

book brings it well within reach. More importantly, making something accessible

doesn’t require watering it down. We think these ideas warrant serious attention

and represent a milestone in leveling the playing field for individuals with

disabilities.”

Crista Earl, Director of Web Operations/American Foundation for the Blind

“XML and spreadsheets are not usually thought of in the same breath. Loren’s

concepts and implementation of Spreadsheet Portals using the IBM WebSphere

tools combines these two in an elegant and natural manner, and makes best use

of what these technologies have to offer. It’s not everyday that you get a clear

and lucid explanation of best practices, new ideas and wealth of information all

wrapped up into a single book. In a fast paced world where on demand business

decisions are being made in Internet time, Excel Best Practice for Business is a

“must-read” for today’s busy professionals working with quantitative information.”
