Leveraging Open XML To Build Innovative Technology Solutions

Intrasphere Technologies and MS Technology have developed solutions specific to customer needs based on Open XML schemas.

Elaborating on the reasons for using Open XML formats for its solution, Vinay Khubchandani, Lead Architect for Intrasphere Technologies said, “Open XML is a self describing XML format that allows easy conversion to other formats including other XML formats. It’s great because it helps us embed our custom XML formats along with custom metadata inside the Open XML document. And being able to edit an Open XML document right inside word-processing environment beats everything. Open XML cuts development time by at least 50 percent - it gives us so many more options to achieve the required functionality in the most optimum way”.

Tarun Kumar, Director, MS Technology adds, “We’ve reduced the amount of time spent on resolving formatting issues by 70 percent – and seen commensurate cost savings. There are other major benefits for our customers: With Open XML, you can view the bulk of a corrupted file, and that makes a big difference. Other formats, such as Open Document Format, can’t defend against data loss the same way.”
