ACCPAC INTERNATIONAL, INC, a subsidiary of Computer Associates International Inc, today announced that support for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 allows ACCPAC to deliver comprehensive business management and e-Business solutions with enhanced scalability for larger and growing mid-market clients, at a lower overall total cost of ownership. SQL Server 7.0 is Microsoft`s comprehensive relational database management system that delivers a flexible, powerful platform for deploying distributed Windows NT-based business-critical applications.
"Significant enhancements to SQL Server 7.0 in performance, speed, and reliability help us to deliver powerful and highly scalable business management solutions with mainframe-like performance and dependability in a distributed computing environment to larger, growing clients in the mid-market," said John Ferguson, President of The Numbers Group Inc., an ACCPAC INTERNATIONAL value-added reseller. "For example, the Canadian Red Cross is replacing their legacy mainframe financial systems with an ACCPAC for Windows and Microsoft SQL Server/Windows NT-based solution in order to provide hundreds of employees across Canada with real-time access to business-critical information."
Tests on ACCPAC for Windows Corporate Series 4.0 posting on a release candidate version of SQL Server 7.0 indicate performance gains of one thousand percent in day end processing. Combining the award-winning functionality of ACCPAC for Windows with Microsoft SQL Server 7.0`s enhanced performance and speed allows businesses to increase productivity and streamline processes. Significant improvements in SQL Server 7.0, such as row-level locking, will reduce contention and enable ACCPAC for Windows clients to process data-entry intensive transactions, such as sales orders and journal entries, at a much faster rate, when more concurrent users are active in the system from multiple locations.
"ACCPAC for Windows` support for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 extends ACCPAC`s ability to deliver easily deployed, high-performing business management solutions to both small businesses and enterprise-class clients," said Christy Reichhelm, mid-market accounting and ERP industry marketing manager at Microsoft Corporation. "In addition, ACCPAC`s support of COM and VBA technologies enables greater integration with other Microsoft-centric business applications. ACCPAC is well-positioned to provide its clients with a powerful, flexible solution to strategically manage their businesses."
Together with Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, ACCPAC for Windows lowers the overall total cost of ownership of scalable business applications for mid-market companies. Sophisticated database administration tools increase the speed of deployment by automating routine tasks and simplifying management of complex operations. In addition, ACCPAC for Windows` database independence and its ability to support both SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0 provides clients with increased flexibility. Businesses can plan their ACCPAC and SQL Server migrations independent of each other, easing the conversion process.
ACCPAC is distributed throughout Southern Africa by L A Technology via its extensive reseller network.
