Job Accounting uses SQL
BEPS Job Accounting uses SQL instead of Microsoft Access. For customers who need to install SQL, we will redistribute SQL Server Express 2005, including Reporting Services and SQL Studio. Microsoft has really done a good job with SQL 2005.
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) provides reporting that easily rivals Crystal Reports. We use Reporting Services internally for our enterprise reporting solution. We were using Crystal Enterprise, but licensing is fairly expensive and the functionality of SSRS is a much better match for our needs.
The new Beps SQL-based print accounting includes the server name, so reporting can be summarized on a single SQL server in a single report, but grouped by Beps server.
The SQL server can be on the Beps system, or some other server. Our technical support department is not going to support SQL, but our Professional Services Division is available for customers who do not have database expertise.
