Windward has made our Reporting Quick & Pleasant
What's Best?
We now get the reports we want. With Microsoft Office (we mostly use Word) as the template designer we can create visually stunning documents with exactly the layout we want. Windward (Office really) makes it incredibly simple to change complex design elements from layouts, effects, spacing, colors and more.
And the smart document logic makes it easy to incorporate our business logic right in the template. This functionality allows us to show or hide data based on specific conditions using logic built directly into the template.
Because templates are designed in Office, our users already know how to design the templates they need. And because that is so easy, most template design work has been turned over to the business users. Not all, we still need to help at times, but most of it. This also means when someone needs a new report, they can create it immediately – no more waiting for someone in dev to do it. I also love that there’s no longer any code that has to be written for a template. And I was able to embed Windward into our application in about 15 minutes.
What do I dislike?
I wish they had a document processing system. Windward makes designing and generating documents so easy – but that’s it. It would be nice if it then could be used to deliver the documents with a robust workflow system.
Aside from that – no complaints. Windward is a well designed product.
What benefits have we realized?
Instead of having a group of programmers generating documents for the company and customers, each person can create his/her own templates on demand. Individual teams can create the templates that meet their requirements. This is a big savings, not just in lower cost but also quicker turn-around.
This has saved time and resources for us on a colossal scale, as we had issues with document creation (especially when it comes to automation). We now no longer have to do it manually.
And the #1 benefit is we now get the reports we want – exactly as we want them.
Recommendations to others considering Windward Studios It took me about an hour evaluating it to truly understand the approach Windward takes. It’s a lot better than anything else out there, but better means different. I was first trying to use it the way I used previous reporting systems, and that was awkward.
Once I put aside the old way of designing templates and thought of it as more of a Word document that I was tagging, then everything became fast & easy. You’ll know you’re at that point when you can’t imagine reverting back to another program.
Also, don’t assume that it’s so easy you can turn template design over to business users and you are not needed anymore. You will need to train the business users, mostly on understanding their data, but also some on the concepts in Windward. And you need to remain a resource for when they need to do something complex.

We're using Windward Restful Engine, it's running on IIS server, very easy for setting up and maintenance. The Java/.Net Engines are more flexible and can be embedded in your project, but you have to build a wrapper and do the maintenance by yourself.
We use Windward Studios mainly for record printing and report generation, it requires multimedia support and some complex calculation and logic, but all the requirement seems so easy for Windward Studio, and you'll find it is more powerful than you could imagine.
But the most valuable part of Windward Studios is not the products, but the service! Their supporting team is so effective, they always resolve our problems rapidly and professionally, they are very kind and patient to answer our questions, we've collaborated with them for about 1 year, and are really satisfied with the service!
Hey! Everyone knows Microsoft office stuffs like Word and Excel. And there is soultion how to make a Bussines inteligence by firm Windward and their soft-plugin AutoTag.
And it's working just well. If you need to be oriented, you can just find tutorials, where you find out how it works. For bussines purpose, there is java dlls, which you can just add to yours project. After that you can develop reports and analyzes over AutoTag in Word and Excel.
So there is no easier way than using technology supported by common Microsoft office tools, which how i mentioned knows like everyone!
I hope it will help to choose.
I use the Windward Studios Auto Tag software to personalizing documents. This is a very useful plugin for word, excel ...etc because you can develop a template which one can return multiple results depending on the input (f.e. xml). You can test your work on your computer with this client and can generate lots of different output format (pdf, docx, rtf...) before you update to your company's environment.
I create Windward templates for a large elevator company. These templates are for complicated specification and proposal documents that our sales reps use for selling elevators. The end result of these Windward templates are documents that perfectly fit the concept of "putting your right foot forward." We used another process for doing this, previous to Windward that was absolutely terrible and support was practically non-existent. The process developed by the Windward team does have a learning curve but it's not too bad, especially considering how much it does.
While learning the ins-and-outs of Windward, I did get stumped a couple of (seven or eight- our documentes are pretty complicated!) times, but the Windward support folks were quick to answer my questions, and happily offered alternative solutions to what I was trying to do. They were even able to instruct me in creating a table where elevator floors are represented "right-side-up," with the first floor being at the bottom of the table and the highest floor, being at the top. This reverse sequence of rows is something our previous software company said was impossible.
We have two areas where Windward generated documents can be accessed: one that is only accessible by people in our company (sales force) and one from our public facing website where anybody can generate an elevator specification that is consistently accurate and formatted in a professional way.
I currently use it exclusively for creating Microsoft Word documents, but I've got some ideas about using Windward for some of my training PowerPoints.
If I had to come up with something to complain about, it would be the fact that the Windward process is a little limiting, if you're used to coding. However, this is because of the nature of Office field codes from within which Windward is forced to work. Regardless, Windward offers plenty of funtionality that can satisfy some pretty convoluted situations.
I highly recommend Windward Studios
Windward makes generating complex documents with interesting layouts incredibly easy. I love how well it integrates with office and the document server is fast and reliable.
