Get Started with Sheetloom as a Platform (PaaS)
Secure, Governed Data — Without the Operational Overhead
Sheetloom provides a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) approach to spreadsheet-based decision infrastructure — enabling organisations to deliver governed, reliable data into Excel without managing complex data pipelines or exposing sensitive systems. All data resides within the customer's AWS account, in the customer's geographic region. Deployment is via the AWS Marketplace or directly via Sheetloom engineers. There is no minimum term and it's free (excluding AWS charges) to experiment with.
Why PaaS for Spreadsheet Workflows?
Traditional spreadsheet workflows rely on:
- Manual exports
- Direct database access
- Uncontrolled file distribution
This creates operational risk, security exposure, and inconsistency.
Sheetloom replaces this with a managed, governed delivery layer.
Security by Design
No Direct Database Access
Users never connect directly to your core data systems.
Instead:
- Data is securely retrieved by Sheetloom
- Processed centrally
- Delivered as controlled outputs
Result:
Sensitive systems remain protected from uncontrolled access.
Centralised Governance
All data delivery is managed from a single platform:
- Approved templates define structure
- Data sources are centrally configured
- Access rules are enforced consistently
Result:
No spreadsheet sprawl. No fragmented logic.
Controlled Data Exposure
Only approved data is delivered into spreadsheets.
- No ad-hoc queries
- No accidental overexposure
- No hidden joins or logic drift
Result:
Users see exactly what they need — nothing more.
Full Auditability
Every generated spreadsheet can be:
- Reproduced exactly
- Traced to its source data
- Verified against a specific point in time
Result:
Audit-ready decision outputs across finance, risk, and compliance.
Infrastructure Without the Burden
As a PaaS solution, Sheetloom removes the need to:
- Build custom data pipelines for Excel
- Maintain export scripts or cron jobs
- Manage spreadsheet distribution manually
- Handle version control across teams
Result:
Your teams focus on decisions — not data plumbing.
Built for Enterprise Environments
Sheetloom integrates into modern data ecosystems:
- SQL databases
- APIs
- Flat files
- Cloud data platforms
Deployment options:
- Secure cloud-hosted environments
- Self-hosted within your infrastructure
Result:
Flexibility without compromising security.
