About Windward
Windward is a document generation and automation solution that enables users to design custom, data-connected templates within Microsoft Office applications. It allows businesses to merge data from multiple sources into templates to generate professional documents in various formats.
Windward is a document automation platform designed to streamline the creation of data-centric documents by leveraging the familiar interface of Microsoft Office. By allowing users to design templates in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint and connect them to various data sources like SQL, JSON, or Salesforce, it removes the need for complex programming for routine document generation. The platform is particularly well-suited for ISVs, system integrators, and enterprises that need to embed document generation capabilities into their own applications. Key strengths include its low-code approach, extensive support for data sources and output formats, and the ability to handle complex logic through simple tags. While it offers powerful design flexibility, users should be prepared for a learning curve associated with setting up data queries and template logic. Support is provided through documentation, a community forum, and direct contact channels, and the product is available for trial.
