>+          <link href="http://www.sunshinesys.com">Sunshine Systems</link> developed a 
>+           POI based reporting solution for a price optimization software package which 
>+           is used by major retail chains.
>+        </p>
>+        <p>The solution allowed the retailer's merchandise planners and managers to request 
>+          markdown decision support reports and price change reports using a standard browser. 
>+          The users could specify report type, report options, as well as company, division, 
>+          and department filter criteria. Report generation took place in the multi-threaded 
>+          application server and was capable of supporting many simultaneous report requests.
>+        </p>
>+        <p>The reporting application collected business information from the price optimization 
>+          application's Oracle database. The data was aggregated and summarized based upon the 
>+          specific report type and filter criteria requested by the user. The final report was 
>+          rendered as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet using the POI HSSF API and was stored on 
>+          the report database server for that specific user as a BLOB. Reports could be 
>+          seamlessly and easily viewed using the same browser.
>+        </p>
>+        <p>The retailers liked the solution because they had instantaneous access to critical 
>+          business data through an extremely easy to use browser interface. They did not need 
>+          to train the broader user community on all the complexities of the optimization 
>+          application. Furthermore, the reports were generated in an Excel spreadsheet format, 
>+          which everyone was familiar with and which also allowed further data analysis using 
>+          standard Excel features.
