GoldBox Consulting and
Implementation by Bob Taylor
Some General Comments about GoldBox
GoldBox is a large set of utilities created by Redstone Softbase Company. Its
purpose is to extend the capabilities of the CRM/Contact Management program
GoldMine, by FrontRange Solutions, Inc. My work generally involves applying
GoldBox to GoldMine.
One important thing to remember about GoldBox is this: everything in it was added
because GoldMine couldn't do something that GoldMine users needed to do.
GoldBox originated in the early 1990's as the very first add-on for GoldMine, to
satisfy such needs.
In many cases, GoldMine later added functionality that is similar to what GoldBox
originated. When GoldMine's addition makes GoldBox's programming
unnecessary, that specific programming is dropped from GoldBox. Often, though,
GoldBox's functionality remains superior to what GoldMine has added, so the
programming is left in GoldBox . Bottom line: GoldBox generally surpasses
GoldMine's comparable functionality by wide margins.
One of GoldBox's important advantages is automation. Many operations that are
Wizard-driven with GoldMine--like Group Building, Import, Export, Global
Replace--can be fully automated with GoldBox, running after hours or whenever it's
convenient. Combined, GoldMine and GoldBox can give you a CRM system that is
extraordinarily powerful and flexible. Another important advantage: GoldBox Views.
