Our Product
With Spark, Coherent has created a new category to supercharge spreadsheets, the largest source of enterprise Intellectual Property (IP) . We accomplish this through a combination of no-code hyperautomation, DevOps control mechanisms, data intelligence, testing and analysis tools, audit trails, and cloud-native power.

Business analysts keep using Excel while Spark automatically provides governance controls, and integration support — sophisticated optimization means 100-1000 X performance gains at runtime
Control spreadsheet versions, test, analyze & track usage
Enterprise controls for managing Spreadsheets across the organization and ensuring the quality, security and compliance of your implementation
Connect and embed your spreadsheet services
Dramatic acceleration of digital transformation projects through hyperautomation. Spark provides code snippets for more than 20 language implementations ready for integration with Apps, systems and data services
Spark
The complete solution for converting, controlling, and connecting business spreadsheets.
Neuron: The intelligent Core
Spark’s intelligent core parses and converts the most widely used spreadsheet functions and coding logic into highly portable web assembly code that can be run anywhere - mobile app, web browser, data cloud, on-premises infrastructure. The conversion process includes optimization that delivers 100x to 1000x performance gains at runtime.Â
Neuron interprets the end user’s instructions with respect to inputs/outputs and data validation and generates code snippets for more than twenty programming language implementations, dramatically accelerating delivery times and reducing the cost of digital transformation.
Feature-rich and powerful, Neuron works at lightning speed and even sophisticated spreadsheet models can be converted in mere seconds.
And there's no learning curve - Business analysts continue to work in Excel while Spark converts their models to controlled, connected cloud services.
Watch the video to see how quickly you can tag your spreadsheet and upload your business logic to create a Spark service.
