What are the benefits of Microsoft SQL Server?
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) and Dynamics CRM leverage the proven and reliable power of Microsoft SQL Server. Having your business data in SQL Server ensures that you have the latest advances in data integrity, performance, and manageability. You can take advantage of SQL Reporting Services to create Web-enabled reports, use third-party integration tools like Scribe Insight from Scribe Software to communicate seamlessly with other database applications, and restore your company database to a specific point in time with SQL Server’s backup and restore functionality.
SQL Server Reporting Services provides a user-friendly, graphical environment to create and publish reports to groups of users. Using the power and portability of the web, you can publish a report containing connections to business data and other databases without any web coding. Users can specify search criteria and drill down into sub reports directly from their web browser.
Microsoft SQL Server also means your system will run at top performance and will continue to do so as your organization grows. SQL Server maintains indexes, the same functionality that allows you to search billions of web pages in a fraction of a second, to provide near instant access to all of your important business data. When properly deployed, SQL Server will automatically tune and rebuild these indexes as part of the standard maintenance plan.
Another advantage of Microsoft SQL Server is its ability to recover from problems. Built into the application are several data recovery and data protection mechanisms designed to protect your business data in the event of hard drive or server failure. SQL Server stores all information and changes in the transaction log, which allows you to backup and restore it to any point in time, not just the time you last took a backup.
Microsoft SQL provides a powerful, yet flexible framework to store and access your business data. Contact Crestwood Associates, your Chicago, Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana source for Microsoft SQL Server expertise.
