AxioWorks Newsletter April 2023: Sneak peak on what’s coming in SQList, Microsoft365 Co-Pilot and much more

AxioWorks Newsletter

Hello Reader,

Welcome to another exciting issue of our monthly Newsletter!

Each month, we try our best to bring you content that is relevant and beneficial for you. So, if you would like us to cover any specific SQList feature or if you want to learn more about any SharePoint feature then please do let us know.

What has AxioWorks been up to?

Firstly, we’re working hard to expand SQList’s capabilities by adding “connectors” that will enable it to synchronize data from and to a wider range of data sources beyond SharePoint and SQL Server. We’re also planning to release a new utility called “connector browser” (name TBC) which will allow you to query various data sources in a consistent way. We’re excited about these developments, and we hope that they will provide our customers with greater flexibility and convenience.

Unfortunately, we had to delay the launch of SQList version 7.4 because our resources were diverted towards unexpected urgent tasks. Additionally, we have decided to incorporate some new features in the upcoming release, which will likely be version 8.0 instead of 7.4, expected to be released around mid-June.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve received another glowing 5-star review from a satisfied customer. If you’d like to read the review, you can find it on our Capterra page at https://www.capterra.com/p/238253/SQList/#reviews. We always appreciate feedback from our customers, so if you’ve had a positive experience with SQList, we’d be grateful if you could leave us a review too.

Finally, we’re always looking to expand our sales capability and work with new clients. If you’re interested in partnering with us or have any questions about how SQList can benefit your business, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
