Fla. vendor unveils report creation software Stonefield Software has unveiled Stonefield Query, a system that creates reports from databases or accounting systems. Retrieving information from databases is an onerous, time consuming process that requires the “heavy involvement of over-taxed IT professionals,” Mickey Kupchyk, chief executive of Stonefield Software Inc. of Lake Mary, Fla., said in a statement. To simplify the process of creating reports, this software was developed for non-technical financial executives. According to the company, it takes only 30 minutes of training to become proficient on the system. In addition, the software eliminates the cost of custom programs, and enables users to create custom reports, pivot tables and charts.
