Posted on: Tuesday, 16 December 2003, 06:00 CST

REDMOND, Wash., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- CONNX Solutions, a leader in data access and integration software solutions, announces CONNX(R) ExcelLink, a new tool designed to help Microsoft Excel users manipulate enterprise-wide data with ease and speed.

The CONNX ExcelLink tool enables any user of Microsoft Excel to add to and update data in CONNX data sources through Excel spreadsheets. It's fast, it's easy, and it's secure. CONNX ExcelLink takes advantage of all of the benefits of CONNX security features, and is compatible with all CONNX data sources.

CONNX ExcelLink is a powerful tool that facilitates fast data repairs and data cleansing within the easy-to-use, familiar Excel application. Data can be manipulated and modified using Excel formulas and features, and any changes can then be committed to the source database tables. CONNX ExcelLink turns Excel into a user-friendly "disconnected recordset" that can help save time and money.

The application eliminates re-keying of data and was designed with both business and IT users in mind. In addition to simplified update capability, CONNX ExcelLink also has the ability to validate data and provide statistics regarding the Excel data and the data source table(s).

There are many other benefits to using CONNX ExcelLink besides freeing users to perform other "value-added" tasks:

-- No program development and maintenance

-- Extension of existing ERP and package functionality

-- Minimal training required

-- Reduced errors

Savings benefits include:

-- Automation of regular update/load tasks

-- Rapid solution of ad-hoc requests

-- Significant time savings since re-keying of data is eliminated

-- Minimal training and time savings result in quick ROI

"We have been pleasantly surprised by the interest and excitement CONNX ExcelLink has generated. It offers a straightforward way for power users to fix and cleanse data using the power of a familiar tool like Excel," says Larry McGhaw, Director of Product Development at CONNX.
