New GoldMine Business Intelligence Reporting Tool from Stonefield Query.

Online, September 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - ORLANDO, Fl. & REGINA, Saskatchewan - Stonefield Software Inc. today announced the new release of Stonefield Query for GoldMine contact and customer manager from FrontRange Solutions North America. This is Stonefield Software's latest release of our award winning Business Intelligence, reporting, and ad-hoc query software, for GoldMine. This new release of Stonefield Query Version 4.0 for GoldMine helps to eliminate IT bottlenecks by creating a self-service Business Intelligence (BI) reporting solution for the casual-user.

Since 1991 Stonefield has strived to build an easy to use GoldMine Business Intelligence (BI) reporting software solution. The latest version of Stonefield Query for GoldMine has seen over 70 enhancements. The addition of pivot table reporting makes analyzing data much quicker and simpler. All the casual user needs to do is select which fields they want and let Stonefield Query for GoldMine do the rest. All filtering, ordering, and sorting of records is done with a few clicks using the built in wizard and the pivot table is automatically created in Excel.

"There are typically two types of users within organizations," said Mickey Kupchyk, CEO, "Power users and casual users. Power users, typically make up less than 20% of the people in an organization, these include IT developers, super users, and analytical modelers. Casual users make up 80% or more of the people in an organization, these include executives, managers, accounting staff, and business analysts." Power users have little problem working with generic reporting software like Crystal Reports because they understand database design, structures, relationships, joins, and SQL commands. To the casual user, on the other hand, this is beyond their technical ability. This is where the first point of frustration comes in: casual users don't have time for Crystal Reports training nor do they want to become programmers. Casual users have no alternative but to go to their IT department or software vendor to get the reports they want.

This creates a second point of frustration: the "IT Bottleneck." The casual user can't get what they want when they need it. Stonefield Query has been customized specifically for GoldMine. This eliminates the IT bottleneck by putting Business Intelligence reporting in the hands of the casual user where it belongs.

"We believe that Stonefield Query for GoldMine is the first Business Intelligence reporting software that provides this application view. This is a great leap forward for Stonefield Query and Business Intelligence reporting," said Kupchyk. "Now, the casual user can create custom GoldMine reports themselves in minutes and without spending time and money on training. Stonefield Query for GoldMine will now provide all casual users with real insight into the operation of their business."
