In today's competitive environment, you need a solid technology foundation upon which to build a successful business. Activant's Prophet 21 provides that foundation with its Windows-based platform and SQL Server relational database.

Designed to run with the Windows operating system, SQL is the easiest, affordable, and most widespread database available. SQL stores data in a user-friendly format, unlike other programs that store information in abbreviated fields that make it difficult to find and use data. Microsoft SQL Server exceeds dependability requirements and provides innovative capabilities that increase employee effectiveness, integrate heterogeneous IT ecosystems, and maximise capital and operating budgets. SQL Server provides the enterprise data management platform your organisation needs to adapt quickly in a fast-changing environment. With the lowest implementation and maintenance costs in the industry, SQL Server delivers rapid return on your data management investment. And because Prophet 21 was built using Windows technology, it is fully interoperable with Windows-based off-the-shelf software.

SQL Server has a large number of applications that are built using its technologies and a growing number of partners who can build, maintain, and update SQL Server installations and the applications running on those installations.

Activant's Prophet 21 offers a rich user interface and more depth of functionality. The familiarity of the Windows graphical user interface (GUI) makes navigating around Prophet 21 easy and shortens the learning curve when training new employees. In addition, Prophet 21 offers real time information for more accurate and efficient analysis. Fully scalable, there is no project too large - or small - for Prophet 21. That scalability enables distributors with multiple companies to run their businesses on a single database. Regardless if you decide to integrate your companies or maintain them as separate entities, one SQL Server database will maintain all your data.

In addition, Activant regularly conducts quality assurance tests during the development cycle to ensure that changes do not negatively impact the performance of the solution.

Easy Access

Prophet 21's open SQL Server database enables you to access all of your data and export it to any off-the-shelf data analysis tool, such as Word, Excel, Access and Outlook. Data may also be imported from these programs into Prophet 21. This simplifies information sharing and streamlines the report writing process, allowing you to make confident, reliable, cost-effective decisions. Prophet 21 can grow with your business, streamlining communication and providing central, organised answers for customers.
