With Coherent Spark. ## SUMMARY ## Introduction Used by businesses everywhere, spreadsheets are more sophisticated than ever. In 2023, businesses must innovate faster and establish governance for end-user computing, but still control costs. ## What is Spark? Enter Spark, where spreadsheet logic is treated like code and converted to an optimized, connected cloud service with all the governance features you need. ## Getting Started with Spark 1. Name your input and output cells in Excel. 2. Upload and convert your model in minutes. ## Key Features of Spark - Address costly errors with data consistency tools, large-scale testbeds, and regression analysis. - Control access to your models and protect the underlying spreadsheet IP. - Manage releases and ensure everyone has the same version. - Audit trails provide a record of every transaction and underlying calculation. ## Integration with Existing Systems When it comes to connecting your cloud service to existing apps and systems, Spark automatically creates code snippets for over 20 programming languages. ## Benefits of Spark Spark represents a new approach to digital transformation and makes it possible to deliver in weeks, not months. Businesses can keep testing, innovating, and releasing. ## Enhanced Efficiency with Coherent Spark You can connect and chain your models, opening up huge opportunities for additional efficiency improvement. Converted, controlled, and connected with Coherent Spark.
