JSE-Listed global software company, Ixchange, today announced that its FrontRange Solutions division has received an award from US technology and productivity magazine, Home Office Computing, for its GoldMine 5.0 sales force automation and customer relationship management software product - as one of the best home office products, services and sites of 2000.
Adding to its impressive list of user and industry awards, including the prestigious "Gold User`s Choice Award 2000" sponsored by Customer Support Management and RealMarket Research, GoldMine 5.0 received the Bronze Award in ceremonies held at the COMDEX trade show in Las Vegas last week. The GoldMine Division of FrontRange Solutions was the only software company to win in the sales force automation and customer relationship management category.
This year marks the third annual award ceremony with winner selection based on value, performance, ease of use, innovation, and suitability for home offices.
"The home office and single-owner business has emerged as a significant economic force in the past several years," said Eric Miles, Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Development at FrontRange Solutions. "This award represents an especially gratifying validation of FrontRange Solutions` overall aim to offer elegant, easy to use technology to the broadest spectrum of small and medium-sized organizations, giving them the edge to compete effectively in the new economy."
"Two out of three new businesses begin at home, and almost 20 million Americans today are at least part-time telecommuters. That makes home offices a hotter market than ever before," says Home Office Computing editor in chief Eric Grevstad. "We are pleased to salute GoldMine 5.0 because it helps home-based workers succeed in - instead of being aimed at corporate computing centres or family consumers, it`s just right for today`s work-at-home workforce."
