Stonefield Query for QuoteWerks Benefits
Ease of Use
Unlike the generic built-report writer of QuoteWerks, Stonefield Query was customized specifically for the QuoteWerks database it's querying against. You don't have to tell Stonefield Query how get the data; you simply tell it what you want and it will figure out how to get it. Everyone in the organization from the President to the receptionist can use the product.
Productivity
With the QuoteWerks report writer you are responsible for laying out fields, adjusting sizes and headings manually. Stonefield Query automatically places fields and headings on the report and sizes them appropriately. You can create a report in Stonefield Query in just seconds with only a few mouse clicks. Grouping, sorting, totaling fields, and filtering are as simple as selecting the desired option from a list.
Performance
Stonefield Query uses SQL SELECT statements to retrieve records from the database, so only those records that match the filter are accessed. This can have an enormous impact on the performance of the query. For users of the Access version of QuoteWerks, you will benefit from Stonefield's custom handling of Access queries. This can be most seen when querying on more than one access table.
Flexibility
If you are a user of the popular contact managers ACT!, GoldMine, or SalesLogix, Stonefield Query will allow you to report on both databases simultaneously. QuoteWerks reporting is included with each of these custom Stonefield Query version. Finally, have data store in other applications that you want to query against? Stonefield Query can access nearly any kind of database, including SQL Server, Oracle, Access, Visual FoxPro, Pervasive, DB2, MySQL and even non-database formats like comma delimited text files. For more details, see the Stonefield Query SDK.
Security
Stonefield Query supports role-based security at the field, table and report level. This means you can control access to any information stored in your system.
Value
For the cost of a single custom report, Stonefield Query allows you to create an unlimited number of reports. Factor in the value of free online training, one year of updates, unlimited email support, and telephone support, Stonefield Query is a must have!
Finally, it allows the people who need the information the most, the ability to get it themselves.
