Harness the Power of a Windows/SQL Server Solution


In today's competitive environment, you need a solid technology foundation upon which to build a successful business. Windows and SQL Server database provide that solution.

With the familiarity of most Windows-based solutions, Prophet 21 SBE is easy to learn, and, when combined with SQL, provides scalability, reliability, and real-time access to data from almost all off-the-shelf Windows programs.

Best of all, Prophet 21 SBE doesn't require vast in-house technical expertise, or expensive hardware investments, allowing you to maintain higher free cash flow levels to expand and grow your business. SBE is available as an on demand service; allowing you to focus on your core business as opposed to maintaining database and application servers. A one-time implementation fee gives you access to Activant® technology experts, so you get up and running rapidly and smoothly.

With each version of Prophet 21 SBE, extensive quality assurance testing and benchmarking studies prove the solution will function to its fullest when put to work in a distributor's business - no matter what the size.
