Suggested Email Template to your Microsoft Admin

 

Hi,

 

Can you please activate Excel Add-in functionality (if applicable), and specifically Curinos’ Microsoft Excel Add-In, CurinosConnect, in our installation of Excel? You can find the Add-In listed here in the official Microsoft AppSource store here: https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/WA200006255.

 

This lightweight add-in is an extension of the SaaS application which we have already purchased from Curinos – and simply provides the ability to more easily integrate into Excel the same datasets already available within our web-based application portal. Our team will use the same login credentials to access CurinosConnect as we do to connect to our current Curinos web based applications. There is no additional cost or contractual change associated with using this Add-In, and no additional data is required by Curinos.

 

If you have any questions, you can reach the CurinosConnect support team at ccsupport@curinos.com. Please cc me on any notes to them so I am able to stay in the loop on any issues or blockers to moving forward.

 

Thank you,

Exceptions: Note that in rare circumstances organizations do not authorize any Add-Ins from the Microsoft store. In these cases there may be alternative installation paths.
