What Fluent by Apryse is

Fluent by Apryse combines an SDK and a Microsoft Office add-in for creating data-driven documents, reports, and presentations from templates. In Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, authors can use tags and conditional logic to shape generated content. Fluent Manager stores templates centrally and supports access control, versioning, and promotion. The engine can be embedded in .NET or Java applications, or accessed through a RESTful engine for applications written in other languages.

Listed data sources include JSON, XML, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS Dynamics, OData, Salesforce, SharePoint, and DB2. Output options include Microsoft files, PDF variants, HTML, RTF, and images. Apryse says its Java or .NET engine can run in a customer environment, keeping data on customer servers. Fluent Designer is a Windows Office add-in and is not compatible with Microsoft Office for Mac; a Java REST engine can run in Apache Tomcat environments, including Linux and Windows.
