Sometimes, I am a front-end web developer. Frequently, I meet new people at work who want to turn really complicated Excel documents into dazzlingly interactive web applications.
Besides
Excel's "Save to Web App" or "Save to SharePoint" features, such people ask if I can tap into an industry to support this -- perhaps scads of agencies and web-based or downloadable tools that make "websites" or at least customizable, interactive reports from Excel spreadsheets, data, and calculations.
I'm yet to find this an abundance of examples of this. Are there? If so, what do you call them?

My employer is looking for a more accurate way to calculate downtime in web applications. Right now, we calculate in minutes of overall downtime, but I feel it would be more accurate to count "user minutes" that are lost - 20 mins of downtime when there were 10 users on the system is far less important than 20 mins of downtime with 500 users online. Is there a standard out there for doing this?
