Merlin Announces Beta Test Program for New Reporting System
Merlin Interactive Limited is pleased to announce the opening of the Beta test for our new QuarryMaster Reporting System which we plan on releasing Q3 2006.

QuarryMaster's new Reporting System offers a report-centric approach to report design with a live design surface that users can manipulate directly and powerful new reporting template features that make it easier than ever to go from draft to presentation quality in seconds. We will publically release more details on the new features closer to the launch. However, if you are an existing customer who wants to see how QuarryMaster's Reporting System just got even easier and more powerful, then sign up today for the Beta test by sending an email to beta@quarrymaster.co.uk.
